If She Knew My Heart Poem by Soumili Karmakar

Flowers were blooming, near the river side,
The cool breeze was smiling, when they past by her site.
A girl by the shores, searched for the nightingale's site.
Shores were not her.
Thus, she wished for the woods,
Where the nightingale flew,
Who loved her right.
The nightingale sang sweet songs,
To make her sleep tight.
A benevolence;
Mostly divine,
In all its spheres.
There was she,
Where, was I.
Appreciated every bit, and accepted to dive.
Her Oceans were deep
So was my love,
Thought of telling her,
All above.
Drowning was accepted,
Just for her.
Didn't mind to welcome death,
If the topic was her.
My willingness to accept defeat, If she won, was figured out.
How well she was known,
by all my heart.
Songs were sung,
Bells were rung.
Her eyes were seen,
In search of her one.
And
As soon as I came,
She asked me ‘why, so late? '
My Heart was beating fast,
Unknown, who was in search.
Certainly,
As she said, it was a must.
When she cleared, 'not you as such.'
My world shattered just then, but stood up for myself.
Somber heart saw her,
So did mind,
Tickling of the clock said nine.
Was too close, whispering in her ears,
Did she encounter?
My home was discovered.
Fear was in war,
Thoughts were roaming in the middle of the streets,
No address found.
Thus, got lost in search of her countenance.
Was not scared,
Was not loved,
Still was there,
To keep up my word.
Heart shyly called her,
Eyes searched for her too,
But she was not there,
Guiding, through a clue.
Can you feel it deep within your chest too, when someone prefers to leave rather than stays?
Her musings were out of reach,
Though my heart beseeched.
Little did she knew,
I was keen,
Spoke about her to my beings.
The moon smiled, stars shined,
And she was not there to be found.
But she was encountered by my words.
‘Futile attempt'- they said.
‘I'll still try' - was said.
So many questions circled in my head!
Was she acquainted? Asked my sorrowful heart.
But, none tried to answer,
Whereas, expectation was from her.
Help was needed,
To be raised above.
Never dared to leave,
Without making her loved.
None stayed, except my words,
Here you shall read,
All about her.
