A Woman

by Dr. Madhavi Lata Agrawal

A woman! So calm and true

A beauty unsurpassed

This is the Lord’s view-

Oh, doe-eyed beauty

Why do you disappear so soon?

Every question I have to ask

Remains uncertain

Hanging on my lips

But as my eyes catch sight of you

I become so numb

Words from my lips

Do not come

And all that comes before me

Is the blushing of your cheeks,

Your darkened eyes

Drowning me in their mist.

Your tender lips

A charming smile release

And all my words

Get slaughtered within me,

And not even a word

Does erupt, from my thirsty lips

For I can only drink in the sight

With hungry eyes

That none can see.
