When Words Have No Meaning Poem by Murali Sappa

Long back, when I was Adam and you were Eve,

Words were still cuddled in the folds of obscurity;

A strange feeling, now called Love,

Was jingling in the heart of Eve.

Eve's heart was brimming with passion

But the words of the lady in Adam's hands had no meaning;

The naked beauties radiant eyes started gleaming

Like a flower blossoming fully, speaking to a butterfly

And Adam got the message.

Even now, I never spoke to you of love,

But dear! Always I see through your eyes

That my heart is in conversation with that of yours

And then the hitherto meaningful words

Lose their identity

And simply dissolve into obscurity!
