Aching Words From An Achy Heart Poem by Arun Maji

Wish, I call you right now
And ask you
How are you? Where are you?
If your troubling pain is any better?

But I cannot.
You don't want me to call you,
Annoy you, trouble you.
If that is what makes you happy
I would give you that happiness.

I am a lover.
Humble yet a sincere lover.
How can I cause pain in your heart?
Tears in your eyes?

I want you to be happy.
Always, everywhere.
I want you to sing and dance,
Play and laugh.
Always, everywhere.

O love,
Your smile is my most precious dream.
Your song is my most favourite melody.
Your dance is my most cherished art.

You may not love me,
But I love you-
That's my pride, that's my win.

You are beautiful, always.
Your eyes are beautiful like deep blue ocean,
Your face is serene like golden dusk,
Your smile is bright like shining star.
I want you to stay beautiful-
Always, everywhere,
For ever and ever.

I bow down to almighty God
Praying-
No pain pierces your heart,
No sorrow shadows your soul,
No suffering saddens your serene face.

Wish, I call you right now.
But alas! I cannot.
Since I can't call you
I write you these words.

Hope, this breeze feels my pain,
And then tell you
How I feel about you.
