Cry of My Heart
Happiness! Do I know you?
No, I don’t. I never met you
I never shook hands with you
How do you look like?
Definitely you are beautiful
What is your color?
Is it blue, yellow, purple or red?
Beyond doubt it is red.
Why are you so short lived?
Like touch me not, like a mirage
Like departing spring
Like a withering flower
Like morning dew
Like peacock’s dance
Like breaking of a rainbow
Why are you so slippery?
Like a tablet of soap and jelly fish
Why are you so elusive?
Why are you so heartless?
Why are you flimsy?
Why do you carry with you
Dark shadows of discontent,
Exasperation and frustration
Why, why, why?
I have left the doors of my heart
Agape for you for ages
My eyes have shed rivers of tears
My heart has sent sky reaching cries.
Now come to me for heavens sake
Come to me my dream , not alone
With all the answers
