Belonging To You... Poem by lalitha iyer

I belonged to you
said the green leaf
to the tall Oak tree
and soon the wind blew
blissfully snatching the blade
from the cozy bed and bied.

I belonged to you
said the lovely drops to clouds
of bulging bags full of moisture buds
soon it rained
and poor drops fell upon the ground
sinking into sticky drains underground.

I belonged to you
said the newly married bride
to the loving husband new
as she laid her head rest
upon his fully grown chest
but fated days were born to test
and there he lied the handsome best
upon his cold grave married to dust.

I belonged to you, my God
said the heart pained and red
who knows what is due
the silent prayers stirring hopes anew.............
