Reflection! I see...
See reflection...
_His reflection in you_, she said.
I stumbled
Just a bearer;
Am,
Of the palanquin
Covered with litter
In which she’s a traveler

I hear her peals
Emanating from her soul
But how can I tell her
I am desolate; a plummet
Revoked after totter

Becalmed, shackled,
Hypothetical; just swaggering:
_Tears in her eyes
(Am I a Liar?)

I stumbled;
For still I behold,
Tears rolling down her cheeks,
--Story was told, in terse,
Lucid but, she remained--
Crabbed
In her eyes, amidst her tears
--Why didn’t I see him?

Wooly, I gazed
Rag ends, were picked
From grab bags
Where bobbled misconstrued forsooth,
Though she nodded off the mongrel

I stumbled again
And she was this time,
Blunt and plain;
I suffer, she said, no pain!
_Then why the tears?
Why the blur?
Why the bran, fumigating?

Up to her ears,
In tears
She stood, droning,
Lusterless, frigid, emotionally wrecked

Bespattered, I stood
Drenched;
No more pain I could uphold.
She stared at me;
Winced at her sight
I faltered, when
Benevolence in her eyes
I could discern

Melted
All heat I felt
Till night, I knew I had to wait.
Only then the burst of the moon
Could reflect!
Reflect jealousy of the moment
I embraced
_Why was I jealous?

Beholding her eyes,
Seepin’ out o’ grace!
Ashamed I sat
With one hesitant Feeling:
Alone, lone I stood;
Ashamed; Anointed!
