Have no words that flow with ease
Flashes in my inward eye and does freeze
My fuming mind in peace, like a cool breeze
The Sindhur on her face, a little sun newly born
To brighten and lead the world on a gaily morn
To attain the curve of her beautiful eyebrow
The rainbow over bent, tries to relieve a little of its bow
What’s brighter than her lovely eye
That wore the jewel of the modest shy
The faint rose craves to know the beauty tips
To reach the color prevailed over her lovely lips
Poor peacock plots to imitate, in beat, if she does repeat
The dance that ran out of her walking feet
Though at its best, how can the moon provide
A right rival for her brilliance that no veil can hide
Allured am I by her gorgeous smile
Away may be I many a mile
The sweet pain in my heart tried every balm
Not knowing that it needs the touch of her tender palm
From the snowy mounts my desires slide
To her feet, to ask if I could walk with her, beside
I know she is my heart.. who’s she?.. no one knew..
wow…… amazing like it no,i will surely use it when ever i need it
i truly remember all these lines venki, being one of the intermediate friends. i also do remember one more poem from our inter days on similar theme,
No part of nature invited my flying thought
A thought that set out with wings got
To find a comparison for her, though in haughty
Alas! none dared to challenge her beauty
Surrendered the rose and bowed with reverence
Failed to provide her silky hair fragrance
she felt shy…who…. the pale blue sky
To face the blueness of your eye
Then coloured rainbow would suit in appearance
But, shower one more it desired for your radiance
No more my thought wants to fly and reaches you
If you permit it wants to say I love you

Brilliant! Sumanth Naidu was a class act! Great to see this poem with you. Thanks for sharing it. Brings back memories of us reading each others work. I was envious of the range of his class vocabulary and considered that my own limited vocabulary was rendering my words repetitive. 🙂
Important question – Did you have a crush on Ms. Sonali Bendre?
^Of course, RG! Why would her photo be there if not for my crush on her! 🙂
