Why Deny?

 

Why deny thy touch?
Why wean me from thy breasts of love?
Why evade my clutch?
And smile down like a cherub from above?
I fought to steal a win from pain
Sans hands to grope your winsome mane
I fought I fought 'til a morbid fear
Has plagued my world both far and near
No mortal's hand I dare now hold...
You've left my world so bare and cold.


Why deny thy sight?
Why make me shut my eyes in dispair?
Why remove all light
From life which now just hangs by a hair?
I fought to steal a win from pain
Sans eyes to see your curves on flame
I fought I fought 'til I fell down blind
As I gouged my eyes - have no axe to grind.
No beaut of beauties I care now see...
You've sucked my world off charm and glee.


Why deny thy presence?
Why make me lose myself in me?
Why remove all essence
Of reason why I feed and breathe?
I fought to steal a win from pain
Sans need to live a life of feign.
I fought I fought 'til pain engulfed
My body - I drew my sword to myself;
My sinews tore - no pain beset
You've made me part before we met.

The closing lines tears at the heart...

Thank you, Viji! And I must say, this poem shall linger in my heart for long....

It is sheer irony that, although I am now famished of love, I only wait to be devoured by her!

Viji said...

omg... lovely write.. i think i wd have read this particular poem atleast for 100 times. whenever i feel jubilant or little down and when i feel love does not exist or when i feel love does exist. i come to this poem of urs. its nice to know a guy, who is famished for love and love this girl of his even before he met her :) this is the ultimate feel and what more a girl would want than an unconditional love.

Shivsu said...

However ultimate and unconditional it may be, there lies a serious fear of loving a girl before I met her:

"...that I'll never get to meet her!"

Viji said...
