SOMETHING I LOOK AT-259
BY-SMRUTI RANJAN MOHANTY

A poor man I am
How do you expect me
To ask for your heart?
Neither it is prudent nor desirable
Let us understand each other
The way and where we are
There lies love
Its beauty and fulfilment
Understanding and living for the other
Expecting nothing in return

What can I do?
Can only wish and pray for you
Pray for a better tomorrow
A beautiful life
Where I may not be
But my smile and tears will be always with you
My eyes will be dancing with joy
Seeing you shining
My heart will be singing the symphony of spring
Seeing you drenched with the colours of life

An elegant and vibrant life
You thoroughly deserve
Nothing, no one can deprive you
Of your just and legitimate due
Have faith
You will have everything
You are looking forward to

Believe me
I will be with you on a different plane
Silently watching you from a distance
Enjoying and enduring your moments
Of happiness and sorrow
As mine, exclusively mine

Hope you will understand me
