Spurned Love Poem by Vivek Kartha

Her maiden smile blazed my heart
A flame so furious
That it melted my heart
Her smile wounded me with love
She loves me, thought I.

The sands of time flew by,
Our empathy grew on.
I knew that she was the one.
Let me wait, thought I.

I feared to utter my love for her
I waited for her to read my soul
I waited and waited,
No barriers were strong to move my soul
The devil failed before me,
Even time failed before my love
Conquering all the barriers I waited and waited.

But Alas!
The devil swayed her heart away
Swayed it to another
It froze my heart when she did it
I tried to make my life sensible
But sense was a far-fetched dream

I still wonder what the devil told her
I still wonder why she hooded her heart
I still wonder,
Why she spurned out my silent love
