Love Poem in Parchment

Your words are sharper than snippets,
yet I appreciate love they beget,
behind the jharoka eyes search--
muslin dupatta pride demurs;
quiet in heart love flower blooms,
in garden I reach for poem’s parch,
sharpened bamboo-shoot turns to pen-
with blood I write eternal pain;
hidden hope that once you will see,
true love  story encrypted plea,
lovers’ paradise  this garden--
cherish ever by men-women;
all lovers seldom  reach their goal---
lives through lives entwined heart and soul.

Note:--Jharoka—a place through which Royal ladies used to watch songs and dance programmes 
without being seen by the men-folks.
Dupatta:---A thin cloth used by ladies to cover their breasts from the searching eyes of men
