POEM

               BUTTERFLY

I saw a shadow of her  walking on the road

I didn't know who she was

Later I came to know she was a Butterfly

I walked by her side.. but

The Butterfly had just flown off

Without observing the honey plant .

The butterfly added wings to my dreams

Once we met each other

She greeted me with a smile

Her smiling  speared into   my heart

Soon we became friends

She becamea silent ache of mine

She bloomed in my heart

As an overnight sensation

She filled my days with joy and smiles

Yet... she couldn't feel my silence

  --'the silence of my heart.'
