Many Moons Ago...(मेहर)

Many Moons Ago...

##############
Many moons ago,
You touched
My being,
Revealed
My essence to me,
Showed me
My existence,
Made me feel
Proud of
Myself...

Many moons ago,
Wordlessly
You unfolded
My mystery to me
That I loved you,
And without saying
An iota of an alphabet
You expressed
Your love for me...

Many moons ago,
We rose in love
Oh No..
I fell in love
Caring just for
My happiness of getting
Never felt that
There is joy in giving
Bliss in loving
Not just in love living...

Many moons ago,
You yielded to
All my wildness
All my foolishness
All my waywardness
Just on one pretext
That made me happy...

Many moons ago,
I lived on my whims,
And you on your own creation of norms
Which on the face were ideals
And in reality
A slow poison for me,
An elixir to annihilate me...

Many moons ago,
You never put your foot down
To stop me from wandering
On the path of thorns
Though I took that
A path of flowers.....

Many moons ago
You slaughtered me
Committed suicide yourself,
What to call you,
A martyr ?
A murderer ?
A lover ?
