Betrayal Poem by Kaniamudhu Shanmugam

You said that you want to travel with me my friend

I know you with thirst crave for a journey with me unto places untrodden

You want to unravel the beauty of the literary world with me by your side

I too am eager to come hand in hand with you.

Together we could go....

Beyond the woods

Far beyond the clouds

Up above the crevasses

Far deep into the sea

And

Yonder horizon of Sahara dessert

Slip and glide along Nayagra falls

Collect the dews on the grass in the valleys and make a riverto row our boat

Lo!

The pity of it I can't take a step even to move from where I'm chained in this mortal life

Where to stretch my wings to explore the cosmos with you dear

Forgive me.....

The Muse betrays those who l love and loved
