Went around searching
the market, the mall, the narrow alley,
all brimming with colourful
bargains to take home.
Went around peeping through the windows
of bedazzling jewellers,
looking for a glittering relic,
to honour you.
Tried much to look into my wardrobe
to part with a special possession of mine.
Tried still to craft a necklace
of the rare jewels I had collected over the years.
Thought over to present you a token of my talent-
an immortal melody in my voice,
write a lyric or an ode to our friendship.
But I found them all low for you.
The pedestal holding our love is high,
Therefore,
my prayer is the only gift
I offer
in no wrappers,
or sparkling ribbons tied around,
just silence and a glitter in my eye.
A finely honed,evocative paean to romantic love.
An exquisite,delightfully-crafted love poem.
Thank you for the motivation Louis sir and Vijay sir
Wow! The gift of a prayer …best to eulogize sheer unadulterated love … and so beautifully penned.
penned with tender touches. I agree ‘prayer’ is the greatest gift one can gift to friends and foes. Kudos dear poet,
Words well crafted as a gift for the beloved
Thank you Pushmaotee ji, Abu and Madhumathy for the motivational remarks.
All binding was my folded hands, away from the tinsel world, that drew you closer to my heart! Lovely!
Thank you Tapeshwar ji
