ARROW OF LOVE

Distances proved no hindrances

to us in feeling each other,

in sensing each other.

Whenever she drowned

in her happiest moments

I too enjoyed

sublime happiness even sitting far away.

Whenever she looked in the mirror

she could see my reflection

and whenever I looked in the

mirror I saw her reflection.

In her moments of needling pain

I too felt the unbearable pain.

From the very day she turned a caged bird

our jewels of joy and happiness vanished from our life forever

instead

pain turned out

to be our intimate, inseparable friend…

I am sure she must be recounting that

precious moment

when my arrow of love

pierced her golden heart and turned it aglow

and I still recount her precious golden moment

her arrow of love pierced my

heart and turned it aglow….
