Were you left with no words <br />to match the intensity your thoughts Sylvia? <br />Was it for him, who had words <br />but not deeds in his love for you? <br />Was it to make sure your creations live <br />longer than their mother? <br />Oh Sylvia Sylvia <br />Why did you dissolve yourself in air? <br /> <br />The best poem on love, pain and ire <br />went hidden in your silence <br />When you added yourself to fire <br />The better ones are now orphaned <br />in your perennial poetry books <br />Why did you do it - Oh Sylvia Sylvia <br />Was it to ascertain the supremacy <br />of the stupid heart to brilliant mind? <br /> <br /> <br />What was in your heart <br />When you set it ablaze Sylvia - <br />love lost or a freedom gained? <br />Was it the only way to end <br />the wilderness of inconquerable mind? <br />Oh Sylvia Sylvia - Yet why did you? <br />Crow still remains and the Sun shines <br />But you took away the crow's whiteness.<br /><br />Putholi Arumugham T<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/oh-sylvia-why-did-you-do-it/
