You Should Know... Poem by kunjubi varghese

Words pure and love filled, I have to tell you;


The truth in my heart you never knew


As you stand apart with spite in your thoughts;


Though chanting your name in my soul, day and night

I kept my unsung love. a secret in the labyrinth of my heart


Inside me that ocean swelled to fondle you,

And your soul yearned for that caress ceaselessly

You heard the eternal music, resonant of love.


I know not what to call that sweet agony it creates

Of the rapturous relation..Love, or is it the divine mercy

Designed to paddle through life without

Drowning in its depth?

Turned a tear welling cloud

Me an equation of destiny,

And you, a seed promising a forest

In you; like the earth craving for the rain....
