THE HAUGHTY WIND

Your name I wrote on the wave-swept shore,

A name that is etched upon my heart,

How could I forgive the haughty wind,

For trying to wipe away my heart's sore?



On the terrace where we often played,

Everything asked me about you,

The chimney-top where you often sat,

And gazed at the sky; also missed you.



I challenged the wind and asked,

If it could erase you from my mind,

Would I forgive its insulting gust,

With which it lashed at the wavy blue?

Author's Notes/Comments: 

Inspired by a poem in Urdu but the incidents mentioned are also part of my carefree days...when Daphne was there.
