What More Does A Woman Need? Poem by Dr. Antony Theodore

In the most innocent forms I crave for you.
In the evening I like to take long walk with you
till the dusk bless you and me
with its mild tranquil red rays.
Then shall we hold our hands and walk
along this shore smiling to each other
and know that we are in intimate love.

I like to turn to you and look into your eyes.

Kiss me on my forehead and caress my hair.
Touch my eyelids and tell me that I am pretty.
Such simple things of love I crave for now.

Won't you come to me to say goodnight
with the gleaming light in your eyes.
Then I know that you really love me
and not there simply for my body.

I want to fall asleep in your arms.
These are painful nights for me
since I know I will not live for long.
Cancer eats my cells up with ferocity.

When you take me in my arms
I see your eyes get filled
and you tell me without words
that you love and still adore me.

What more does a woman need?
What more does a woman need
In this life which passes away like a wind
