Forgive Me Poem by swapna palkar

You want me to feel guilty for being spontaneous in love,
You want me to feel ashamed of my instincts that gave me joy from the core!

You think I was wrong in sharing my being,
That radiated its joy and bliss from within!

You think I was selfish for being myself,
And find my space away from yourself!

You think I broke your heart and set flames on it,
You think I played with your life and made u weep!

But let me tell you that I was no wrong,
Because what I got was joy and bliss all along!

I could not help being selfish,
As there was no other way to know myself and its mysteries!

I admit I went off limits, and gave way to all my instincts,
But that was the only way to go beyond my instincts!

I am not guilty for being spontaneous,
As that is my nature and my way to know the existence!

It is not me, who broke your heart and set it on flames,
It was your ego who tried to possess me and put me in cage!

But I still ask for your forgiveness, as I know that the seed in me which wants to ripe and grow,
Is in you too but is dormant and raw!

I have taken the flight,
With dreams of touching the unknown heights,
I wont look back and I wont regret,
As I know you will forgive me even if it is at my deathbed!
