Do Notask Why Poem by Bharati Nayak
Do Notask Why
Do not ask why
When earth's sky
Becomes red in shy
And glows with the touch
From sun's warmth.
Do not ask why
When the flower dances
to the rhythm of air
Or the dew drops
Sparkle on grass blades.
Do not ask why
the sea waves
rise and fall
At such distance
At the moon's call.
Do not ask me
Why I become tongue-tied
When you come
To my sight.
Do not ask the heart beats
Nor to the breath
The cause and meanings
Of their essence and existence.
Holi festival is associated with love and in Hindu scriptures it is said that Lord Krisna and His consort Sri Radha were playing Holi surrounded by their friends.
Spring season is associated with love - -This poem I wrote on13-03-2015Today I found it and so thought to share on this forum.
(Perhaps Emily Dickinson's Poem'Why Do I Love "You", Sir ' inspired me to write this poem.
A wonderful poem dear poetess. Loved the lucidity of poetic expression. Top score and to my favourite.
Do not ask me If I miss a heart-beat Reading this poem, And wonder why. Well done dear poet.
Bharati, in this poem you address something I’ve thought about but never attempted directly in poetry, that is the progamming or chemistry within us that is intrinsic to us. Why indeed am I drawn or attracted? Though I can describe what it feels like I can no more explain its origins than a bee can explain why it is drawn to flowers. —And you accomplish this with delightful simplicity. -Glen
Thank you Glen Kappy for your valuable comment. Love is the most natural feeling common to all living beings.We do not have an explanation why we feel so.Nice to get your comment after a long time.
Natural rules, Natural Laws! Nature, Love and Life. Thanks for sharing this poem with us.
When a person is in the mesmerizing touch of love, he/ she behaves in such a way that cannot be rationalized or explained as in normal situations! Love sometimes makes one intoxicated or excited far beyond words! Spring is an ideal season to be hit by Cupid's arrows! Lovely ink!
