Oh! Where lies the cure for this wounded heart?
Bleeding since the day you decided to depart
  Foolishly in futile search of a herb have I spent the years!
Full knowing that the cure lies within thy heart!

Deepak....Excellent as usual.

Poetry is the spontaneous overflow of powerful feelings: it takes its origin from emotion recollected in tranquility.

Four lines of passion can say so much. Great poem.
Be well

If there be nectar to be found in the insides of a poison ivy
Then I, for all that's worth, am at will to kiss a stinging bee
If this pilgrim in an ever search of love might find its roots
Then I, for all that matters, would stretch to reach its fruits!

Hey deepak,
I really enjoyed your quatrain  a lot... wonderful..
regards,
sudhir

A wonderful but bitter tale, Deepak. I can think of many more productive cures, though

Thank You all - lovers to a man (or woman) I can tell! Like I said before - the quatrain is facinating in the fact that it forces one to confine the size of the poem to 4 lines only - and that too with limitations to the rhyming - and yet is long enough to allow one to effectively express an emotional statement!
And smiles at Lotharingia - what do you think the expression "herb" stood for eh!
