Faceless Face

a poem by Karthik Sankar

I will not go and sit with her
under trees or park benches
nor will I sing my heart’s song
made to her eyebrow.
I will not lament behind her
nor will I impress her with
acts of courage and bravery.
I will not give her a red rose
and forget her for life
Nor will I bid goodbye
with tears in my eyes.
What I will, is keep her,
close to my heart,
and live with her forever.
