SUJATA VARMA

Being in Love
Is a beautiful sensation
Headier than wine
Lovelier than the rose
...

A cup of piping hot tea
The morning newspaper spread before me
I sit on the bed
Meticulously scanning the advertisement columns
...

Sunday was beautiful
In anticipation
For you were to come on monday
Breathless suspense
...

I never believed in
love at first sight
Until I met you
that fateful night.
...

When I see couples
Walking hand in hand
And families building castles
in the sand
...

O! God in Heaven
To you I pray
That I should always be gay
On each and every day!
...

I am lonely
Won't you befriend me?
Soothe me with you touch
Help me relax
...

It was on a beautiful day in May
With my heart light and gay
That i went for an early morning walk
To have with nature a talk.
...

When I first met you
You were a bud
Lovely and mysterious
Untouched and unawakened
...

There was a time when

Toys never failed to amuse me
Flowers would always thrill me
...
