DEAF, DUMB AND BLIND

See how  my  “I love you”

Has created troubles new !

To the  koel ,I said “I love you”

And the bird sang so much into my ears

Day in and  day out about each of her tears

In a tone sweet and sad without  any fears

That I turned deaf to the world of all  my near and dears.

To the blossom, I said  “I love you”

It blushed and beamed

She was quite mad it seemed

Offering  her sweetest smile and cheers

That have turned me blind to all other possible  colours .

And to the butterfly I said “ I love you”

She was drawn to my lips

With such  pollen under  her feet

That sucked all my words into her hot mouth

Turning me dumb for rest of my years .
