There were diamonds in my eyes
Pearls in my smile
You took them all away….
To pave the courtyard of your home.
– Shail Mohan (2009)
You took them…

Beautifully done…the pain is delicately touched..
Thank you Gyan 🙂
Absolutely quaint and delicate and at the same time a bit melancholic 🙂
Who’d want their precious self to just be decor material? This for me, speaks volumes of how we let ourselves go… unknowingly!
Bingo! 🙂 Thank you 🙂
Though this feels subtly sad. In a round about manner, it must have been precious enough to pave the courtyard, which means they will be reminded of you all the time. 🙂
No I don’t think the pearls and diamonds taken will be easily forgotten. 🙂
Wah wah!!! Loved it, Shail. Such a vivid scene painted from such few words 🙂
Shukriya, shukriya! 🙂
Four lines to sound a warning…
Warning?? More like a statement of facts 🙂

😦 😦 😦
Speaking with emoticons?? 🙂
Oh, WOW !!!
Thanks Uma 🙂
Very poignant! She (I’m assuming it’s a woman saying this) sounds sad but at the same time resigned.
Yes, Manju, it is a woman of course 🙂 And you are right, sad and resigned 🙂
lovely. so sad. 😦
Yeah sigh sad it is! 😦
Thanks.
