My Unfaithful Beloved <br /> <br />So I took her to the sea resort <br /> thinking she was mine <br /> but it seems she had a boy friend <br /> I said ‘Dear, I don’t mind, ’tis fine. <br /> <br /> The lamp of the sky went out, <br />The round disc of moon <br />Fades out in the Western sky <br />My moon, my everyone’s moon. <br /> <br />I oped her eyelids I touched her golden hair <br />She slept on the lea <br />And no one was there. <br /> <br />The hyacinth petals were shed <br />Which the green leaves did hide. <br />Her song still is felt like silk fragments <br />She looked so fair. <br /> <br /> I still recall her face <br /> Her skin smooth as shell <br />It’s shining brilliantly like crystals <br />Pure as the toll of the evening bell <br /> <br />She was fair but not white <br />She was a just a woman <br />And nothing more <br />She was like the sea <br />true to everyone <br />I took her to the seashore.<br /><br />Ratan Bhattacharjee<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/my-unfaithful-beloved/
