I Shunned the Truth

A gamut of lies you gifted me,
I guarded it, disregarding my veracity,
When the reality did dawn over,
I ridiculed the cinch, shunned the truth...
Until it shattered my existence,
Rendering my faith, my conviction, slain,
Leaving my life, meaningless.

One Spring Later...


The lovelorn koel cooed, incessantly,
Ripping her heart, through her soul, the pain did seep…
Infiltrated through her spirit, melancholy,
Stabbing her hope, verve; her agonizing wounds weep…


A tear trickled down, as recalled she,

A magnificent spring, the blossoms, the fragrance…

The look, the words, his smile, her glee,

The fond touch, the tender kiss, the warm embrace…


Still coos the koel, sun shines bright,

A miracle is what her desperate heart does crave…
Lays awake she on intoxicating nights,

Still there remain flowers, but on her man’s grave…

Enchanter. Yes, He Was!


Oh! Heavenly was his radiance,
Feasted, on which, her awestruck senses,

Strode in as he, captivated

Remain her soul by his sheer presence…

The smile, so enchanting!

His eyes, the gaze, glimmering with verve!

Arose her latent passion,

Magic, such enthralling, did his charm weave…


For the moments to freeze,

The time to stand still, pleaded her enslaved heart.

Hoped, yearned, prayed she,

That, eternally, he stayed close, never depart…
