Still I Stand Still Poem by Khairul Ahsan
Still I Stand Still
Still I stand here, speechless,
Where I was left to mourn,
Still in a state of slumber I am,
Unperturbed, unmoved.
Like a weeping deodar cedar
I stand, mourning my lost time,
With no bird on my branches,
No butterfly on my flowers.
The breeze gently ruffles my leaves,
The rain washes away my tears.
The moonlight still generously glows on me,
While I stand speechless, alone!
Still I look for the face
That held all my dreams.
Still I await the compassion
That touched me in all tenderness.

Thanks for the empathy, @Kelly Kurt. Pleased to have your comment on my poem.
a beautiful love poem...though a sense of loss..... a real picture of a lost love....... the execution is imitable...the metaphoric use of the tree is the essence of the greatness..as I think.. of this great poem....thanks for sharing....10++++
