Unsung Poetry

Beauty does not demand being beautiful physically.A lot of time we come across people who are beautiful in their hearts and minds.This poetry that I wrote is praising the beauty of such a girl.’, ‘

Beside the river flowing,
Underneath the tree,
I used to see her everyday,
She as beautiful as poetry.

When I crossed her everyday,
She would blink at me,
And when she heard me singing at times,
She would pass a smile at me,
Sitting underneath the tree,
She as beautiful as poetry.

I knew my songs she loved very much,
I knew my words she liked very much,
But never ever did she utter a word,
Why was she so, I often wondered,
She, sitting underneath that tree,
She, as beautiful as poetry.

I once asked what her name was,
She showed some signs with her hand,
Which I could hardly understand,
And then she wrote her name on the sand, “Anupama”,

I said to myself, “that is true”,
”Coz nothing compares to you,
Your silence is sweeter than,
The songs sung by a cuckoo,
There she sat underneath the tree,
She as beautiful as an unsung poetry.

*Meaning of Anupama (Hindi term)= something that has no comparison
