On My Birth Day
On My Birthday!
My Birthday dawned.
I got morning calls.
All wished best
He did not call.
Party is arranged.
All well -wishers came.
I waited in vain.
He did not turn up.
. Posies greeted me.
Gifts also obliged
Downy noon faded.
Drooping eve shadowed.
He didn’t turn up.
Forlorn night darkened.
He didn’t show up.
I retired in bed.
Sweet dream imagined
He must be coming.
Dream also betrayed.
