Is she still mine??

Buried all the differences
Wanted to start everything new..
Reached the party
when the people were so few..

The diamond necklace on that
stunning black dress..
Beautifying the beauty as if
a dove in a cloudy mess..

Mustering courage
with the hope of a new dawn..
Buttoning the suit
i was even willing to fawn..

But my eyes signaled
something else to my mind..
She was with someone who
certainly was not her kind..

Sam - the flirt,
is what he was famously called..
The dude with the
French beard and a shaven bald..

She looked happy and
she looked calm..
She looked content and
still carried her charm..

My colors faded
faster than i thought..
I blamed myself for
the lost jewel i sought..

I was still sipping the un-cherished agony
when she approached with a glass of wine..
Told me about her ploy to open my eyes,
cleared
the clouds of lies with her lightening shine..

My heart beats paced,
before
the heart could sublime..
Mind was still furious but the heart
pounced
with joy stating - She is still mine..

I think it's nice to get that look into his thinking. Even though it's not a super long piece you did great at putting us right there with him.

wonderful wonderful poem !!! just a request .. maybe breaking the pattern of poem is not that a bad idea.. not a good one too !! :)

sudharm baxi said...

@Gaurav,
@Lokesh,

Thanks

@Pretty Me,
Agreed. I maintained the flow in the complete piece but at the end, tried stuffing so much in so less and hence had to break the flow a little, but gonna work on it again right away..thanks for suggesting.
