Heart! Heart! Lovely heart <br />The call of a mercantile <br />Vicious and wittiest <br />To sell his golden dazzling hearts <br /> <br />She saw one with a lovely smile <br />Elegant, smart and sophisticate <br />She made her mind to grab at once <br />And struggled to reach first in the crowd <br /> <br />She was asked what she had <br />She said she had one in hand <br />Neither smart nor sophisticate <br />But sincere, loving and caring <br /> <br />Golden heart is damn gorgeous <br />With feel and talk and touch so cool <br />Befitting it she enjoyed life <br />As if she procured dreamland <br /> <br />It was on an April morn <br />She saw its inner core as black <br />An atom bomb did explode <br />And smashed and washed her sanctity <br /> <br />Alas! Her heart is broken hard <br />In that devastating blast <br />But, see her! Fetching wrecked piece <br />To rejoin and erect her life <br /> <br />Even then she seems sometimes <br />Arbitrate in deep ardent <br />But most the time she slump at ground <br />And crack and weep silent as child <br /> <br />Oh! The damn betrayal! ! ! <br /> <br />Who has really betrayed her? <br />The golden heart or witty merchant? <br />Or her fate to get betrayed? <br />Or is it he or she herself? <br /> <br />She went to market once again <br />To purchase a ravishing smile <br />And pasted over her tears <br />And started betraying herself <br /> <br />Smile remind her the comment <br />The comment of a Philippine poet <br />“There is always a weeping heart <br />Behind every poignant smile” <br /> <br />Sandhya <br />April 2009<br /><br />Sandhya S.N<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/a-betrayed-heart/
