This is one of the few times I know the source of inspiration for my poem... and surprisingly its not just one but two sources...
One is from the book 'I too had a love story...' You can find it here - Ravinder Singh's - I too had a Love Story
The second source is from Srini's blog post --- Story of a tear drop
Dont ask how this poem originated from the two or what made me do it... that is for you to find out :-)
Read and enjoy...
Did you ever love someone
Truly from your heart's core
And still love didn't get the wings
In pain your heart did roar
I too had a love story once
Of bright day and starry night
Colored in lovely hues of passion
Life seemed like a pleasant sight
Where tear-drops if they came
Were treasured as gems precious
Smiles were always welcome
Indeed they were the most luscious
And yet we drifted apart
A reason no one can say
After a long time our paths met
Brought feelings words don't convey
I looked at her and smiled
She too smiled back at me
And even if smiles played on the lips
A sadness you could still see
Maybe this is not what it is
It's just not meant to be
A separate me and a different you
It just didn't add up to We.
When I first wrote this poem... I had no idea of the sources... but with multiple requests always for the sources... I tried to come up with some :-)
