And You Thought Honesty is Rewarded beautifully?

(c) Shilpa Sandesh

It piques,
Aches,
And I feel all the definitions of pain,
Bathe me in its galore,
It is but hard to believe,
That Honesty is not always rewarded with love,

(c) Shilpa Sandesh Wake up, Good morrow to you! For you're to me, The first ray of the morrow sun; For I wish to see you rub those drowsy eyes, And wake up from that soporific sleep; I know the night was long, Our frames were interlaced with each other, but not along; You appeared in my gorgeous specter, Even the rainbow smiled, spilling upon me its seven colours; The day be a special one, as you'd soon hold a fraction of me, The surface you would touch, bears my touch unseen, So wake up, From that sublime sleep, It's the moment for us to meet........
