I- a known stranger

an old write, edited.

O’ how much I crave for your love
Love which never came my way
That tenderness of your eyes
whispering " Yes, you are mine"

The touch of belongingness
I feel and dream myself as  yours
But you seem strangely distant to me
You enjoy around with everyone
You, too compassionate to others
While you are oblivious to me

I remain behind shadows
my touch fearing disapproval
As, I am still a stranger
A Known Stranger

hi prritiy ...
we all know, i know that you are longing for this person who might not even know you exist and yes you could be just a stranger ...
does this person know you even exist?
if yes - more work for you, if not even more is being cut out for you
you know ... relationship is a two-way street
good luck and thanks for sharing your thoughts with us.
please write more, talented prritiy girl

p.s. what (if any) does your name mean?

[Prritiy]

I am so touched by your sweet words that thank you seems less :)
My name given by my parents is Priti which i changed to my whims n so. This name in Hindi (Indian) means love, affection.

"I feel and dream myself as yours"
"I am still a stranger
A Known Stranger "

Prritiy, THIS one "touched". I wish I had read it first, because of the three I've read now - it really brought YOU into your writing. It has emotional power and draw, and the clarity of real.

There is a child in all of us who does not crave for money or anything else but has a longing for li'l attention and so much of love.... This is an awesome piece.. Kudos!

[Prritiy]

Thankyou so much, yes i wrote it initially when i was in 11th standard when money never mattered though it still doesn't and still i am being accused of being childish :)

This is a wonderful statement on a crisis in relationship.
Such situation may be encountered very frequently.
The poet has a great insight of the actual crisis.
She is appreciated for depicting it vividly.

[Prritiy]

Thankyou so much for always being there and all the help :). And not the least for all the encouragement to this lazy person :).

[zainul]

You are most welcome,dear poet.
I could not complete my comment before because of some other engagements.
I like to add that the graphical presentation is very attractive and it has enhanced the beauty of the poem.
I appreciate your creative work :)
