An Angel named HOPE…

I wrote this poem back in 2004-05, when I was in high school. I had written it for a girl named Asha. (“Asha” means “HOPE” in Hindi.) I never told this to anyone as I was seeing someone else at that time and I didn't want anyone to know I had a crush on Asha. ;-)

“She is sweet like candy

And pretty like Eve.

Hi, she says

And gives you a smile.

Dark beautiful long hair;

Black eyes which look like

Oceans overflowing.

Her lips like molten chocolate

Shiver, when she speaks.

Her cheeks so filled with blood

Inflict life unto you.

Her skin glows like burning gold;

Her eyes like balls of desire.

Yet its not exactly

Her beauty that kills,

But the love that

You feel when she is around.

Its hope inflicted on a dying man.

HOPE_ that’s her name.

That’s the name of the

Pretty damsel.

Its true_ you feel loved,

But you can never really know

If she loves you or not.

Now that’s what t’is like

With angels.

As they are

Rarely seen,

Scarcely recognized

And hard to get.”
