Fate Of A Sweet Flower! Poem by RAMESAN V P

MADHU YOU WERE A SWEET FLOWER
EMITTING FRAGRANCE ALL OVER
YOU WERE ON PERFECTION
THAT THE GOD MOULDED YOU
TO ENTHRAL THE ENTIRE WORLD
BUT NONE KNEW THE DEW IN YOU
AND IN YOUR PETALS
WERE THE TEARS OF TIME
WHOM KNEW WELL THAT YOU
ARE DESTINED TO BE NIPPED OUT
BY THE TIME AT THE PEAK
OF YOUR BEAUTY AND CHARM
THAT EVEN CELESTIAL STARS
LOOK ASHAMED OF YOUR BEAUTY.
THE LOVE BOND THAT MADE YOU MAD
EVEN BROKEN DOWN TO BREAK YOUR HEART
MADHU YOUR SHORT SPAN ON EARTH
INVOKE EYES IN MY TEARS
WHEN I SEE OR REMEMBER YOUR
DEPICTION AS A PICTURE YOU LEFT
FOR BILLIONS TO SHED TEARS
AT THE TOMB WHERE YOU REST
BUT NOW TURNED INTO SOIL
OR MELTED IN THE HEART OF EARTH
MADHU I MOURN YOUR ILL FATE
BUT YOUR MEMORY IS ETERNAL
THAT NEVER DIE IN MY HEART OF HEART!
