I will never blame you

a poem by Sanal Kumar

I will never blame you
For refusing my love
No matter what your reasons are
I don’t want to know that.
But I want you to know
When I loved you,
Your love was a soothing song
It had an unheard melody
Though the song is now lost
For me
Its melody will always linger
In my heart.

Your affection
Breezed through my heart
Which always caressed
The bleeding wounds of
My past memories.
Though the breeze is no more,
My wounds have healed.

Our relationship
Sometimes blazed like a wild fire
Sometimes to epic proportions
But I cared for the beauty of fire,
Then the heat would make in
My lush soul.

Today.
You offered me
The tapestry of sweet memories
As a friendly gift
Which is the most precious gift
I ever received
I will cherish it like the
Treasure found in ancient tales.

And A final word to you,
I will never blame you,
I am thankful FOR everything

That you gave me a chance to love.
Because, without you
I would not have been loved.
