Love Drop | Vandana Nagar

One cold morning

a soft breeze blew

It swayed the blossoms

drenched in dew.

One little dew drop

peeped in through

and saw a maiden

soaked in dreams.

The breeze did see

the dew drop drunk;

drunk in love

of the charming maid.

The soft breeze blew

a bit too strong

and hurled the dew drop

on her throne.

He landed on her silken lips.

Her dreamy face

he gaped and gazed;

her beauty left him

all amazed!

The sunrays slowly

poured in through;

the blossoms recalled

the dazzled dew.

“Come back dew

to the blossoms new.

It takes resolve;

it takes a heart

to win a woman’s heart”,

they said.

The dew played deaf

to all their cries

until the maiden

opened her eyes.

She bent over slow

to the blossoms new;

heedless of the drop of dew!

The dew drop would not give up soon

he fixed in firm to endure the sun.

The sun did shine and tried his best;

could not defeat the dew drop's zest!

Along the sun the wind too blew;

it caused her hair to curl and frizz.

Her hair did slit the drop of dew;

the dew drop stretched on her silken lips

yet, held on to his sinless wish!

At last, the maiden felt the dew

she curled in gently her silken lips

and embraced the dew drop stretched in there.

The joyful heavens showered in praise

for the triumph of the dew drop's love!
