Do Not Ask Me Poem by Susheela Alexiose

Do Not Ask Me

Rating: 5.0


Do not ask me
How much do I love you
I still do not know how deep is the sea

Do not ask me
How much do I love you
I still do not know how vast is the sky

Do not ask me
How much do I love you
I still do not know how large is the earth


Do not ask me
How much do I love you
I still do not know how big is a star

If you can count the stars one by one
If you can count the sand of the sea
My love for you outnumber all these

If my breath can make you whole again
I will lay down my life for you
My sweet boy Cyrus

I have read the comments of the learned readers and feel that it truly deserves the same and much more. The emotional quotient weighs more than anything else. Thanks for sharing the same. I would like to translate this poem into Hindi for which I look forward to your kind permission.
