Ah! For long, I
had been looking forward
For thy pulse
to pulsate
Thy nerve to
vibrate
Thy heart to
throb
Thy verve to
verb
Thy lips to
quiver
Thy feet to
stagger
Thy eyes to
twinkle
Thy romance to
sprinkle
Thy head to nod
Thy emotions to
flood
Thy being to
reply
Thy beckon to
fly
That my feelings
perceived, longing for thy love’s reward!
But, alas! I
discovered after a long, lustreless expedition
In thy arid,
bleak and sombre self’s region
That thou wert
altogether an insulator
To receive any
emotional current anymore
Albeit, it
passed through thy vicinity sine cessation
Discharged out
of my amorous, frenzied heart’s sordid substation!
N.B: Once I heard from my beloved that,
after her marriage with me, she was disclosed by one of her High school class mates
that she was being loved one-sidedly by him. He had a longing for marrying her,
but he could not muster courage to propose to her and was unsuccessful in
letting her know about his indications. So, I wrote this poem more than a
decade ago, on behalf of that unsuccessful Romantic lover
