Dear beloved,

You turned left
I turned right
I knew you left
But, Am i right?
To anticipate your arrival at site?

You bid good-bye
quiet and sad
I feigned pleasure
Though I was mad
Am I right?
To expect your call at leisure?

You wanted to talk
and clear the cloud
But I took a walk
My head high and proud
Am i right?
To wait for my door to knock?

You flew away then
I cared less
I sob and mourn now
Utterly ego-less
Am I right?
To expect you, to hear me confess?

  Ego ?

  J,
  
  nah, faith did not outplay ego!
  Her tremendous ego vanished by itself.
  
  and now to confess, she waits,
  egoless, with faith
  
  
  Thaya,
  
  "Was that you I saw in the poem?"
  
  Sorry could not get what u are tryin to say.
  
  Well the subject of this poem was egoistic
  and now she repents.
  
  Regarding the title,
  
  Why? You thought I dont keep titles
  involving ego or faith?
  
  You thought I am egoless or faithless??
  
  Pondering! Or Should I say THIKING?....
  
  ;-)
  Shakthi.
  
  
  Oru tamizhan,
  
  I appreciate ur interest in wanting to know the meaning!
  
  Let me start with something
  
  "but i am very week in english"<<<
  
  Week...means....7 days...A week ago.
  
  Weak ...means not strong..
  
  Got it?
  
  
  
  God..U want me to simplify the poem?????
  I feel its not a great poem to explain...
  Its as such in simple english...anyway...
  (God what a shatter of ego, that somebody says he does not understand
  my 'so-called poem' (joking))
  
  The subject (Kavidai nayagi) of the poem takes over, now....
  
  para 1
  
  Our path differed, he went one way and i went other....
  I knew he left me,
  Now, I dont know if i am right to except his home coming.
  
  para 2
  
  He moved away from me with weighing heart.
  I, out of ego, mocked and smiled.
  Though, I was in love with him.
  Now, I dont know if i am right to expect him to call me.
  
  para 3
  
  He wanted to talk to me and remove the misunderstanding,
  I just turned a deaf ear, and walked away.
  Now, I dont know if i am right, that i wait for him to knock my door.
  
  para 4
  
  He went off my life, I did not care then, I feel sad and cry now,
  without ego or shame,
  Now, I dont know if i am right to expect him to come back and
  hear my confession!
  
  
  Shakthi takes over now...
  
  Thats it tamizhan... I am waiting for ur comments and criticism.
  I seriously appreciate ur interest.

  Good theme! Be it love or friendhsip, many of us sometimes fall a prey to our ego ending up in great loss!
