Know Me What I am !

Why tears roll down  my cheeks

heart palpitates when I think of you!

You say I do not care for you.

Why then a stabbing pain throbs

my heart when I touch you?

You say I am lifeless

How then when our lips meet,

bosoms press tight like mating birds;

you say I am inert, a sod

yet my heart misses beats

when your eyes wander far off.

When I listen to your flowing words

for endless hours I go dumb

and you say I listen because

I have nothing to say,and do not
send the ball back to you.

My love for you deepens
where age and looks have no count

Yet you say I look for attractions

which my lost youth never did.

No doubt the trust is scanned

efforts to get closer fail, but

the heart and soul are full

of the same love to match yours

although  unfelt, unseen ,unsaid.

But I am no Mira to prove

my love is true and divine.
