She Is Not Charming But..! Poem by sundaram chandrakalaadhar

She is not charming
but has a very kindly heart;
sows seeds of love in my heart
but yearns for the flower,
that is my heart.

I have no mind
to receive her golden heart;
nor any design to present
my unworthy heart to her;
I told her, 'you are my sibling! '
She left all broken.

Another girl with no grandeur of heart
but with glitter and sparkle all over her body,
with a condescending look
goes avoiding me, twitching her face;
I run after her;
Think of holding fast her legs;
'The sibling' philosophy
conveniently I set aside!
Enslave myself to external charms
that batters my reason to numbness
and inflames my lust to furious fires!

O God..tell me-
Why have you left in men
such a flimsy ungraceful heart?
