People Would Have Pitied Me Poem by Ravi Kopra

I said to you in my heart -
You are my world.
You are my life.
I could not say it openly
But I say it today to you
in my poem dedicated to you.

You came and took my heart.
You became its owner.
You ruled it.
How can I not say now
you were the spring showers
in the desert of my life?

Without you the trees will be without
leaves in their never ending autumn.
There would never be a spring.
My life would be empty. And I,
sitting in the corner of my bedroom,
would be crying day and night for you.

Love is so beautiful.
Having you in my life, I feel
I am the luckiest man in the world.
I do not know how could have I
lived without you.

You are my flower.
I would have been a desert
flower without you.

People would have pitied me
seeing how prickly my life was
living among the dry, sharp
soul less thorns, ready any moment
to pierce my loving heart...
