My Other Love Poem by ANJALI SINHA
My Other Love
He’s active as quicksilver,
Ageless as the sun,
Agile as a stream,
And alert as a bird in springtime.
Holding eachother's hand,
We’d walk down the stream,
He’d hold me so close,
As if I could get lost-
As illusive as a dream—
When I was a runner,
As boisterous as the stormy seas,
He’d be as blunt as a hammer,
But calm as the summer sea.
I cherish those memories,
As candid as mirrors,
Don’t want to be thrasonical, -
But made me into a pearl.
Guided me to school,
Waited interminable hours,
To see my sunshine- face,
Told me many stories,
of gods and goddesses,
And made me inflexible granite rock,
As gracious as the morn,
And as regal as Juno.
Now he’s helpless,
Unstable as the wind,
Frail as a lily,
But inexhaustible as the deep blue sea,
Immaculate as an angel,
Steadfast in his devotion.

Lovely, marvelous, beautiful dedication to a loving grandpa. I know he is looking down at you now, smiling, an endless smile. Thanks for sharing...
I was eager to see who made up all these beautiful things, Strangely enough I've been thinking more and more of my grandfather lately who has moved on ages ago, but he always held a special place in my heart. Thankyou for sharing,10++

Your admiration for him seems unwavering and that's the way it must be.
as long as the world lives and as long as the sun stays may he stay with you always...always... this is touching....reminded me of my grandpa...
Anju, you are not a god poet but a good lady also. You have a mind full of sympathy and you create an immortal one.
What a beautiful poem dedicated to your grandfather....it must so be difficult to watch him getting frail - but love is the best tonic for him...I am sure he treasures his relationship with you his loving grand daughter...10+++
