Forgetting My World.... Poem by ritty patnaik

my feelings,
remain dormant in my mind,
in the beat of drums,
as well
breath of the anklets.
like a shadow i remain with you
forgetting my own world,
my own, not my own!

who bound us in love, that
from birth to death,
a promise was made,
which glows to be fulfilled?
a desire to merge.

what i have left
for anybody,
i dont remember,
what i got from anybody
is a distant thought.
in what sorrow,
i left happiness, to find you
who can account fior this,
or have a clue.
the body becomes cold,
and useless!
for days together,
all will remember.

dont really know
when i surrendered
myself to you.
you were in front of me
when i opened my eyes,
and i became shy, there
was nothing left then.
flower on my hair,
anklets on my feet,
and khol in my eyes.
!
can you hear my voice?
tell me truely,
are you really mine?

i felt i was made for you! !
