Never Meant To Be Poem by Reshma Ramesh

Never Meant To Be

Rating: 5.0


if we were not meant to be
to be my love, why did u agree?
if we were not meant to be
why did you meet me over the red sea?

how does your arm fit my waist so perfect?
every time i see you, why do i resurrect?
how does your mouth fit the nook of my neck?
why iam ready to fly at your every beck?

why did it have to be u and me?
why did we have to be standing under a marquee?
when you held my hand didn't you foresee?
you and me were the ones not meant to be

if i ever meet God i will ask him
if it wasn't meant to be, then why the prelim?
where was my angel when i cried all night?
why did you make us fall in love at first sight?

if i ever meet the devil i will ask him
in the shadows of the night you grin
why did u make me wait all my life?
now i find him between these strife

why is it so bittersweet and tragic?
oh why it so beautiful full of magic?
baby u and me were never meant to be
with tears in your eyes i see
you waving good bye to me.

I always find this kind of poems from women-poets with lot of punch, depth of expression....if u don't mind I read these same feelings in almost a dozen poems written by lady-poets. I am not complaining....but this is giving me new perspectives of a woman's heart and thought..how delicate are their minds and easily they become victims of a man's vanity and arrogance.....This poem indeed is very very good.....very touching....
