Darling, You.... Poem by PARTHA SARATHI PAUL

Darling, you didn`t creep into my heart
you walked straight in with a gait smart
Darling, I did see you come in
and felt my heart filled with joy within.

Darling, I didn`t stop you then
as I knew nothing could stop your come-in
why should I stop you when
the door was ajar for any stranger turned lover.

Darling, you`re so heartily welcome
in this weeds grown poetry-yard
maybe only you can be the music balm
to the old wounds of this wino bard

Darling, you`re now the valves of my heart
and your love is rich red cell blood
Darling, never leave this poor hut
for that`ll make me just a putrid cut.
