A Letter To My Darling
I know darling
You will be surprised
to see me
My face is full of beard
My hairs are falling
I have not seen me in mirror
for many years
these beards are years
When I touch my face
I understand I am growing old.
I know my darling
You are angry with me
You must have thought me
a coward, a liar and an escapist
Yes, you are right
I have escaped from you
Because, I loved
another woman
a mother
My motherland.
I could not tell you
on that night
they have arrested me
blind folded
Since then I am in jail
Its now 20 years.
My sin is I loved my country
more than you
I know darling
You will never forgive me.

you use all i know about poetry in this, and it sounds too good
very poignant write
I know my darling
You are angry with me
You must have thought me
a coward, a liar and an escapist
Yes, you are right
I have escaped from you
Because, I loved
another woman
a mother
My motherland.
Sir......your love for your country is so much evident in your poems.....and the way.......the mood of the poetry changes is fantastic......it starts with a plea to your beloved and suddenly it changes to the love for motherland......Brilliant.
‘I loved
another woman
a mother
My motherland….’
180 degree shift! Total poetic anticlimax!
With a but… its love for country to sever love of fiancée is great
