Depths Of Love

Deep in the Silent darks,

Wandering and swaying around

I was, once content with life full

And concern less.

None to lad me with the

Burdens of responsibilities,

Nor someone to share

My loneliness.

Life held for me little surprises,

And even fewer

Excitements in the

Monotonous chores.

On one such dark

Expeditions, was i broke off

My usual routine

When I met her...

Imperfect she was...

And also intruding and irritating..

But I too was not more

Perfect, and longed to

Give her company and also,

To have her presence.

She was always there- Sometimes distracting

And some others even annoying-

Pricking and pinching and

Stinging me now and then.

I did it all-

Soothing her and

Cajoling, as she

Screamed and chided me.

Eventually, and gradual it was,

She too showed a change-

Sublimed was she and

Also softened

My love and patience blooming

And bearing fruits,

She glowed brightly with

Strong sensuality

And delicate frailness.

A gift she was... Although in disguise!!

I cherished her beauty and form,

With all the reverence I could muster...

I loved her too much to leave,

Making the inevitable parting

Even more impossible...

She vanished suddenly

As she had once appeared..

As a pearl, most distinguished

And unique...

Abandoning me there...

A deserted oyster, to die

In the still waters of unending depths..
