MY SWEETHEART
First glimpse into your eyes,
I was filled with passion
Ceased by your beauty,
Relentless to say, you ’r my dream girl!
Do I love her? Frantically questioned
The doubt persisted until then,
When toiled contemplation answered,
You ’r mine and I ’am yours.
Days crawled and I wept,
For only I knew, how much I loved her.
My heart plunged, dug so hard
And I ended up proposing her.
Her face was cute, yet so cryptic.
She never said “no”, but never had it happened.
I was happy, but yet so sad,
For I loved her so much, and she never knew.
Hopes invigorated, dreams to zenith
Joyful thoughts, thrilling moments,
I couldn’t resist loving her, dying for her.
Where will it culminate, I never knew.
My thoughts hovered, and cascaded
It remained through, throughout of course,
I love her, love her so much.
But why, I never knew.
Searching for the riposte,
Ended up knowing one thing,
I love her because “I loved her”,
And no other reason could I find.
The time tickled and played,
And I was the only histrionic on stage.
The game turned serious, when
Her feel started pricking my heart.
Her frolicsome nature enchanted me,
I knew her tunes, and her likes
I was proud to say to the world
That “I love her”, “I…..love her”.
I had asked her many a times,
The same old question,
For this time or the next,
She gave me a better hope.
February was fine, March was mad,
April fooled me, May was floral.
I reached nowhere, but yet…..
I loved her; I cried “I love her”.
She loved me, I thought.
I was late, late to know
She never did and I was fooled
My heart broke, but all in silence.
I frowned, howled and screamed
All for her…..I was crying
For one and only one reason
Why I loved her so much?
True friend is one like her,
She consoled me, pampered me,
I felt like a child, and she my mother
Sad to know the doomed destiny! Uhm
The drama dint last long,
The blissful moments awaited,
But frustrations all around,
I couldn’t help myself smiling.
I went to the shore, and asked the sea,
Do you love me, my sweetheart?
She said “yes, I do”!
And she took me forever, so it was
I was hers and she was mine!
My sweetheart!

hey....a Very interesting poem.....very deep....
ReplyDeleteIm really impressed by the fact that it was so long yet the thought remained throughout the poem....
really nice...
ReplyDeleteHere's a poem by poet Nanditha, who, unfortunately, commited suicide. However, the poem's nice (or rather i luv it....)
ReplyDeleteI know you would never say this to her....but felt like sending this to you...(Though you might never understand why am I sending this to you....)
Defeat me, Would you?
One has to rise from the fire
And have burning eyes for that.
Your eyes are not even embers
Better forget about that.
And let’s talk about reconciliation.
Beliefs won’t shelter you.
You’re not the winner
Nor am I.
Disgusting, to fine away
Letting nobody win.
So, When fights take us now where
Let’s talk about reconciliation.
- Nanditha
Hi manoj,,,to me,, this is best one you have ever written.
ReplyDelete@Jithu--
Nanditha is one of the best poets i have ever read. She just makes your mind...i mean,,,i dont know how to put it in words...His malayalam poems are better than english..
sorry correction-- not "his malayalam" but "her malayalam"
ReplyDelete@Dileep
ReplyDeleteI agree. Her malayalam poems are simply gr8! If she was still alive, I would have known her personally. She is from my place. And but then, if she was alive, I doubt, if she would ever be a (known) poet!!
@jithin
ReplyDeleteHi, thanx 4 commenting in my blog,,,but i dont maintain it anymore. I was new to internet tat time,,,so nvr knew wat a hyperlink was :-)),,,well nice to meet you,,
well,,i guess ur right regarding nandita...the fact is she wrote it all from her own experience. Such emotional turmoil,,,i can't just imagine...
Her story add glow and a mysterious touch to her poems... And about emotional turmoil... does that make everyone a poet?
ReplyDeleteI love this poem very much...its similar to my life too...
ReplyDeleteQuite Shocked to hear the news of Nanditha. I am still searching for her. She was alost friend. Just now realized that she is no more! It is quite shocking. We stayed in the sam hostel for 2 years and we were in touch during those times and we lost touch. Sad to hear this
