Those lovely fingers!
You are really beautiful
there is no doubt about it
If I were a classical poet
I would have compared your face
to the lotus or the moonbeams and what not
But in the modern age
that may sound ridiculous
About one thing I am sure though
Love, beauty and everything good
flows through those gentle fingers
They are impressively expressive
When you slide your fingers
on the frets of the vINA strings
and produce those waves of melody
or when you glide your fingers
on the floor with the rangOli powder
to produce those tender artistic patterns
or when you feed our young one
coaxing to eat little morsels of food
showing the moon in the sky
or when you gently run your fingers
through my hair at the end of the day
offering a prelude to unknown joys
it is those fingers,
those lovely fingers
those love-filled fingers
that I think of

Uhmm, I normally take them for granted, until I get hurt in one of my fingers, and have to adjust with bandaged fingers for a while...that's what it takes for me to appreciate my fingers!
I think you ARE a classic poet :)
Yes Lata,
Very true. There are many things in us and in life, we take them/it for granted until it is hurt/lost.
Sir,
You have expressed your and our thoughts very well through each line of your poem in a simple manner. Hats off to you.
