'Joy of love lasts for a while, pain persists life long.'.... Poet

          ACHE

            Had he ever loved me!    
              But then why he came at early dawn
                  When Sun shimmering crimson.
                       His eyes glistened.
                              I looked straight to his eyes.
                                 He walked away leaving me confused.
                                   I failed to descry my reflection in his eyes.

          Had he ever loved me!
                  But then why he stepped hesitant
                    in scorching noon when Sun blazing brilliant.
                    My eager eyes waited to listen something
                            He neither talked nor smiled, just passed
                                 I was not sure whether he turned back for a while.

               Had he ever loved me!
                    But then why he hurried to reach me at dusty dusk,
                      When sun to set and day wore grey mask.
                      I stretched my hand to welcome
                             He did not hold but went away.
                     Yet I am not sure whether he wobbled or ignored.

           Had he ever loved me!
                    But then why he appeared at misty night
                         When crescent Moon looked pale not bright.
                         He sat silent at corner of my bed.
                  I yearned to lean on his shoulder
                      I dreamed to be in his arms.
                               But he just glanced and left.

      I am carrying my ache throughout life
             because I had loved him.
