There she was-pretty,yellow and bright,
But her tiny heart wasn't quite feeling right!!!
She was a sensuous sight,an alluring flower,
But for no fault of hers ,her mood was sour!!
Her smile gone,she had no pleasure,no glee,
'Cause none visited her-not even a single bee.
Angry and alone,she one day asked a passing bee-
'Is my pollen and nectar not sweet enough for thee?'
Surprised,the bee answered-'You're gorgeous and grand,
Proudly and bewitchingly with spread petals you stand!
I would have gladly sipped your honey,dipped into your juice,
But then the friendship of the leaf below you I would lose.
You see he loves you deeply and truly-that shy fellow,
He can give up his life to protect your petals so mellow.
He asked us all to leave you alone,to leave you at peace
So our plundering visits to you have been caused to cease!!
He always loved you,from the day you were born,
He sings about you-evening,noon,night and morn!!
Go and talk to him now,you silly girl,you foolish lass,
Lest before you know true love-this moment shall pass!!!'
P.S. Often we seek love and companionship outside,above us,in places beyond our control and reach.While all the time,a leaf sitting quietly below us goes on loving us to no end......This is a poem dedicated to all such silent lovers and admirers.....Hope your love gets rewarded one day!!!!:-)
