When love came knocking on your door, <br />what is it that you were waiting for? <br />Were you wondering if it was for real, <br />when its purity you could always feel? <br /> <br />Were you gazing for those charming looks, <br />often described in romantic books? <br />Were you longing for gentle words that please, <br />but as ephemeral as the passing breeze? <br /> <br />Were you blinded by the worldly traits, <br />of caste, creed and hollow faiths? <br />Were you thinking for your kith and kin, <br />who dont understand your dreams within? <br /> <br />Were you deafened by your inner fears, <br />while tender hearts shed burning tears? <br />Were you worried about the unknown fate, <br />not thinking for once that it could be great? <br /> <br />While you wait and waste your day, <br />the knocks are slowly fading away. <br />And once it stops with a broken heart, <br />two tender lives will be torn apart. <br /> <br />No sooner than you realise, <br />your life becomes a compromise. <br />You adorn your face with a bogus smile, <br />while you are feeling hollow all the while. <br /> <br />But in life, alas, you'll always regret, <br />a haunting question you'll never forget. <br />When love came knocking on your door, <br />what is it that you were waiting for? <br /> <br />-Sunil: '( <br /> <br />© 2008 Sunil Nair <br />The album of life<br /><br />sunil nair<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/when-love-came-knocking-on-your-door/
