Love...

Here is my first attempt to write a poem...

I wrote your name in the sand,
but the tide washed it away.

I wrote your name in the clouds,
but the wind blew it away.

I wrote your name in the water,
but the sun scorched it away.

I wrote your name in the air,
but the cyclone swirled it away.

I wrote your name in the fire,
but the rain flung it away.

I wrote your name in my heart,
but then I realized, you stole my heart away!!

PS: Check out for tamil version in the comments!!

Disclaimer: Seems like there are few poems in the internet which carry the words "I wrote your name..." but they are purely coincidental.

Good one...simple and beautiful.

I feel some change required in last 2 lines.

I tried to write..
Only then I realized...

Keeps tense consistency.

first poemndra naala manichu vidraen.
love poem is not good to make impact. (if that is what ur impression) believe me - try poverty, war, religion etc.

@ Praveen: Thanks da machi.
You are rite da. But, I left the last 2 lines for the sake of paragraph llelism.

@Ram: Those topics are bit tough da. Anyway, let me try it! :-)

Looks like a *stolen from somewhere* poem, though! ;-)

Good Thanix. This is the poem that I wrote on behalf of my room mate to impress his Girl Friend.
