A Maiden Always…

Forty three years on this land,
Still ne’er been in love with any man,
Pure woman, pure mind, still a pure spinster,
How it feels to be in love – still does she wonder…

Always wanted, but ne’er did she find love,
Still now ruminates over the lonely days she passed,
Every now and then, dreams she to be touched,
Dreams of her unfulfilled dreams, sitting like a lone dove…

None to shoo away her worries,
No endearing heart to lend ears for her stories,
Her lips untouched, her soul not reached!
A small life it is if happy,
But a long life she has to live…!
