When She Had Said "NO"
When she had said "No" -
He did not look into her eyes, and
See the heart framed in a casement of pain.
He had taken it to be so,
For he had misunderstood her.
If he had asked her once more, just once more,
Then her pride dissolved..
She'd have rushed him.
Instead he walked away,
Bearing a pain that she had
Not wished to inflict on him.
He had not understood her condition!
Was it too her fault?
-Jayanthi S Vimal
In a world full of unknowns and secrets, poetry becomes a means of survival, a way of coping. Through poetry, we learn to deal with change, to come to terms with joy and grief, and to celebrate the wonder still to be found in the extraordinary energy of daily life. Because of this aspect alone, poetry cannot be limited by definitions. It is an art of language that cannot be communicated or fathomed other than by the use of poetry itself!
