Slowly ...silently is emptying my inbox now...,
as the hopes of my aged heart .., fading little by little....;
The gifts sweet you kept.., without a single space..,
words among them...you filled with softest love....;
Slowly.. silently .... is emptying my inbox now....!

How short are the minutes....,
you played in the presence of my eyes...?
With smiles never seen...,
for you were only on screen...;
Lips tightly closed....., I 've never heard your voice....;
God only knows..., why our hearts meet at this age...?
Slowly... silently..... is emptying my inbox now....!

Clouds... mist or dust... never be on this earth....;
Never....! Never...!! we meet... ,
like a mid night dream in sleep....;
Met that angle....., I felt..., to drop a tear drop down....;
Only single image....that never would be lost....;
Slowly ... silently ... is emptying my inbox now.....!

Forty nine damn years.....,
have faded fast ... and gone...;
Why this heart so young.... , in weeping in the midst of your love....?
Wings .... , that of times ....,
cannot bring those words .... once again.....;
And yet this greying heart cries....,
for the love..., like that is in its youth....;
Slowly... silently... is emptying my inbox now...!!
