I stand in the corner of the garden
Looking proud and tall
I have the whole world
at my feet
No way that I could fall
You kiss my tiny white flowers
Look at me with the longing eyes
I smile wide
And you smile back
To say 'I understand you darling'
Today I stand in the corner of the garden
Trying hard to catch your eye
You are busy on the phone
And I am bleeding
from my heart
My fragrance fill the air
to catch your attention
I look at you with longing eyes
Have I become
a part of your life
So much
That you forgot my existence ?
You notice my wilted flowers
You rush inside
to get a glass of water
The world news on the TV
catches your attention
and the glass of water
remains by your side
Today you water me
Smile at me
And ask me
what is wrong
Why am I not smiling back at you
The way I always do ?
Darling
Broken heart can be mended
But broken spirit
Can it be mended ?
Take Care,
There is some philosophy of life in your poetry...Have become a part of your life so much that you have forgotten me...How true!
ReplyDeleteAhh!! that's a lovely treat to start the day with..beautiful poetry..
ReplyDeleteThank Dilip ... yes it does apply to life ...we at times take a person or object so granted that we forget about their existence.
ReplyDeleteThanks Ranita ...our comment made my day !
Yes, we do have a responsibility for all that we love. One day though even the flower must stand on it's own and in doing so produce its offspring to leave home and find others to tend them too. A most touching piece of poetry.
ReplyDeleteNothing is worse than love wasted upon the uncaring.
