A Reflection

It is not the first time,
That I've felt your beauty.

But this time,I've found myself
in your bosom.
This tranquil deity is taking me
to another world.

I wonder,that though I was reluctant
to go through...
But still it is impossible
to deny you completely.


Today,you've poured your blessings on us.
But should I enjoy or be upset?

It seems,
That though a veil of secrecy
is made around,
But you can sympathize and
mourn for me.

Now I should be shrouded again...

In spite of the tumult inside,
This peaceful ambiance has been enjoyed by me

But,you've never got rid of us since so long.

O , dear don't be so beautiful,
That we get a reason to kill you.

I know how poison comes in the form of drug.

Don't be so great
to bear this all.
But be a little shrewd
to pay us back.

It may sound cruel,
But I know you are innocent.

Better I'd wish your delight,
Instead of taking attempt to molest you through praises.
