LET MY STORY REMAIN UNTOLD...

LET MY STORY REMAIN UNTOLD…

 

I do not borrow or buy any emotion from the market of passion

My feelings are pure; they reach you as a natural expression…

 

You love me to dilute all grief while I love you to add to my mirth

The difference may look to be tiny but I want to create heavens on earth…

 

Destiny is at fault when you are repeatedly hurt by some stranger

I may have been quiet but my poems try to reach as a messenger…

 

What use is my presence if it is unable to wipe your moist eyes?

The deluge of your tears is more threatening than rain falling from skies…

 

This comes as a surprise for me today when you call me an eyesore

I will still meet in every birth even if you erase all memories and restore…

 

Whenever you desire to take vows I shall embrace with the same devotion

Test me once, twice or hundred times and I shall offer you the same potion…

 

Even if you like to ignore my words listen to your heart’s call in this life

The vermilion you apply on parting of hair is mine; you are my soul…my wife…

 

I know my prayers in the form of letters couldn’t melt your choice

You certainly expect more from a suitor and I fail to become your voice…

 

It is a sad fact that our Past has walked into lot of troubled waters

I foresee our Future now and the very thought dips me in a bout of the jitters…

 

Though I write with my blood yet the charm of cerise color is hazy

Who will perform your funeral and compose my eulogy; I have turned crazy…

 

I plead with God to delay the punishment for my sins in another lifetime

Be it any temple, shrine or pagoda I see only you in every deity’s prime…

 

Why don’t you take my soul along with; I want to renounce this world

I will build a tomb in Sky or Water; let my story remain untold…
