My Love Poem by Meena Iyer

How do i love you, you ask
With a slated gray smoke,
your eyes a mask
Your stance a rigid stone
All set to disown
My feelings my love
Like the eagle that dove
Towards earth,
My heart soared
Then crashed; Am hurt

What proof can i give
What words would you believe?
When you don't see the emotion in my eyes
The care in my sighs
How do I show you my allegiance?
Does flame prove its brilliance?
Or moth its constance
Can we separate flower from its fragrance
How can you be separate from me
Without heart can body be?

How do i love you, you demand
If i tell you would you understand?
When you know the relation between
cloud and mountain
Waves and the land..
Its then you will start to comprehend
The depth of my affection
Till that day, I wait
And let silence take command
