The Bliss Of Unwanted Love Poem by Pravat Kumar Mandal

The Bliss of Unwanted Love
Pravat Kumar Mandal

I knew I did not fall in love
But I frankly said, "I love you."
Unknowingly you became glad
And said, "My all you've to subdue."

Since then you came slowly to me
Close, very close to my body.
Your breathings seemed to me crusty
But I felt cozy and moody.

This is how your deep attachment
Continued for a long long time.
I never interrupted you
I never thought it was a crime.

These memories covered with dust
These are now the past dreams broken.
I bring them down, clean secretly,
And keep them in my care again.
