The love in your heart wrapped carefully
Kept secure in layers of feigned indifference
Let the sun not shine on it nor the rain fall
Love it seems has to be locked as if in a bank vault.

Where fingers tap dance…
Liked this a lot. Very ghazal like.
Me: Thanks Rhett
I love ghazals
kept in layers of feigned indifference!! I like all your tiny poems, they say so much !! Just like 55 words fiction
Me: Thanks IHM!
Very interesting and well-written, HRP. It makes me think: why the necessity of “feigned indifference” for the love in our human hearts AND when and why do humans let the feigned indifference finally vanish?
Many emotions packed into a few words–BRAVO !
Me: I echo your thoughts word for word Bob.
And thanks for the encouraging words of appreciation.
Were you on a break, Shail?
Loved your poem as usual and as IHM said it is like a poetic 55-er.
Me: Not exactly a break Solilo, but visiting bro and sis and unable to get on the net often enough. Two more weeks to go before I return.
Thanks!! These are in contrast to the abundant words I use for my other posts!
that was lovely
beautiful
Me: Thanks Monika
Lovely poem,Shail.So much said in those few words!Beautiful!
Me: Thanks Deeps.
This kind of love is hard to figure out. Some go years without letting on and sometimes a lifetime is wasted(or NOT).
Me: You can say that again about ‘wasted time’!
I liked what you wrote here, “Kept secure in layers..” How true!!
Keep Blogging!
Me: Thanks Biju!
Reminds me of heroes of yester-years…the snehamulla simham types…tough on the outside, soft inside, like a chakka
Me: Lol Ganga, Simham and chakka. Loved both!
I second Rhett. This is like a ghazal! Beautiful.
Me: Thanks Pall
Will love to read what motherhood means to you Shail…

Me: Hmm… coming right over IHM!
You’ve been tagged.Do let know when you’ve done the tag:)
Me: Ok Deeps!
There are many reasons for the heart to hide
and mainly it is the fear of being taken for a ride;
and for a moment don’t think i’m being snide
for I’ve seen a lot of people who’ve lied.
Me:
Listened to the song ‘Love Lockdown’? relatively a recent one! Do!
Me: Not yet heard it. Maybe soon
Thanks.
“kept secure in layers of……” I liked it. Beautiful..
