Achilles



Hot  desert tried scorch youth this beautiful..
Cold mountains tried freeze the hope..

All in vain ,all in despair, for warriors dont fall..
blade of despondency cant sever the strong rope..


A young heart had its own cloud raining..
A lightening of valour; perseverense a treasure ..

Your face said life is to be lived my dear..
Your eyes sang hymn of perseverance ,its pleasure.

Homer could have written you in the great Iliad..
A prodigious reserve of patience prevails in thy sky..

You smile and flowers bloom in the garden of mirth..
Hearts sink each time this nightingale did cry..

Your  words glow bright in melody,even in the quiet..
In hiding far from your light is darkness in inpatience.

When I come to your mortal sea for courage..
I get it in plenty from your kind patience..

  My ordinary eyes saw your jewel of a heart on machine; was glorious ...
I saw a phoenix rising from ashes each time it shouted life to hail..

Im blessed for I came to see you, to talk and to care..
Dazzling star for talent ,bright sun for power,lovely moon for peace you are..dear Achilles.
