Why Did You Come Then Poem by kunjubi varghese

What made you to come again this way,

If you have no love left for me in your heart?

What made you tarry some moments,

Standing there, unless you wanted to tell me

Something, which lingered in your mind?

You hid your resentment and rebuke

In the veil of silence, without admonishing,

Without shaming any acquaintance, with me.

I was watching your approach, seeking that

Smirk, camouflaged in the corner of your eyes;

To make out how you were trying to conceal it!


I came alone to call you, with a heart full of

Romantic jingles, not saying any jokes or jibes

Not asking you any reasons for your ill will,

Waited to see you, my beloved,

Just to talk only a few words, singly,

Let alone my yearnings, to be with you…
