The U Turns Of Love!

At the dawn of the day…

The bird's wings flutter

No its not for her

The sun's rays glitter

But it's not for her

The vendors started bantering

Oh its not for her

The people started gathering

'Pch..' it's not for her

The sky at its dawn

The pond with its swan

The plants and flowers

The VIBGYOR colors

All the beautiful things...

That Nature left behind

What is the use?

When she is blind...

She was in a flight

Though she was not

Rich and bright!

She is blind

From the child age

Under the care

Of an orphanage!

She got chosen for

An eye operation

By a charity trust

Of a US mission

The intention is

To gain her vision!

The hostess introduced 

Her next seat stranger

'Raghu' is his name

'Radha' is her name

"Both of you are

For the same operation

Each of you please

Extend your co-operation!"

Both talked with interest

Of course

They had matters

Of common interest!

'No vision' integrated them

'Same mission' bound them

The circumstances wound them

'Gender difference' emulated

An opportunity also stimulated!

There were unprecedented touches

The bad touches appeared 'good'

The good touches appeared 'bad'

The touches embarrassed initially

The joy increased as it went on

And of course, they were in love!

As preparations went on

for the operation…

Each others' help excited

A 'boat and oar' status manifested

An eternal love emerged

An auspicious knot concluded

'At least if he gets the vision

We will manage in life'

She wished and prayed

'At least if she gets the vision

I will celebrate my life'

He wished and prayed

And both waited anxiously

For the 'Judgement Day'

The operation for both went on and

The result of the operation examined

The result for him was favorable

The result for her was formidable!

The vision for him was gained

The hope for her vision got ruined

He had a feeling

'Why did it fail for her?'

She had a feeling

'Will he stay in my life?'

The time went on

He went around America

On and on

"Hey, Raghul…

How does the world look?

Do trees and plants

Give a pleasant kick?

Do Human beings

Surprise you?

Do vehicles go

Across you!

Are shapes wonderful?

Are crowds cheerful?

How do birds fly?

Do girls exhibit shyness?

Everyone talks about colours!

How does the red look?

Can you see your color?

Do you like my color?

Hey… Raghul...

…Am I beautiful?

Please elaborate

Let me penetrate

Through your eyes!"

All his words were

Dedicated to her...

For a few days!

Her query was repeated

Eagerly and daily!

His reply for that became

Miserly and rarely!

The girls around him

Were pleasant

But she with dotted face

Was unpleasant

Finally, he disliked,

Evaded and avoided!

But how to state!

What to state!

Is it irony or fate!

They say 'It is a medical miracle'

Some say 'It is God's miracle!'

Radha's vision was improving

Raghul's vision was disproving

Reasons were attributed

To many stories

But reasons are not

Part of this poetry!

Raghul's vision became

Zero percent

Radha's vision became

Hundred percent

Now Raghul pleaded Radha

For support!

Will Radha forgive Raghul

And accommodate???
