I ask you for a hug <br />You folded me in your arms <br />My heart which was crying <br />Became quite like a child <br />Safe in its mother’s arms <br />The turmoil which you asked <br />How it was? Was gone! <br />When you took me in your arms <br />It was a quelling of the storm! <br />Why don’t you go, when <br />Some one calls? You ask. <br />‘I ask for simple things in life <br />Hold my hand, take me out <br />A hug, a peck on my forehead <br />Would do, these are what I long for <br />Not just some physical release <br />The mind should first be free <br />Comfortable in good company <br />All else is loss in life I hold <br />I ask for happiness and now <br />When I am alive, I want to live, <br />At least for sometime’, I reply.<br /><br />Angelina Pandian<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/i-ask-2/
