These are the times when I miss you the most
when you are back in your village
on your festive holiday
far,far away
I know that you're having a great time
with your many,many cousins
playing cards, joking and laughing
crop inspecting and connecting
with what the villagers have to say
You remind me of a village chieftain's son
a movie that I once watched on Zee TV
so handsome and in your finest green apparel
attracting all the curious village belles
Don't you think that I worry about you?
Everyday you are there, it's torture that
I'm going through.
Perhaps mama will find you a pretty, young girl
to marry you off and declare this union to the world!
What's then to become of me?
The woman you've married secretly?
I've given you everything already
I wonder whether you
honestly think about me
when you are there
you're so busy chatting with
your cousin sisters and brothers
that you may not even spare a little thought
to your lonely, lovesick wife and loyal lover.
It's different with me you know
you are there always in my thoughts
WHEREVER I go
I cannot get you out of my mind
you come to my senses all the time.
Everything reminds me of you my love
even the crows that fly in the sky above
every sound that comes to my ears
even the wind whispers
to me about you
the state of you, the essence of you.
Let me stand under the street light
in the complete darkness of the night
Let me perform my love dance for you
in the nude...yes in the nude!
This is what I see,
I am all alone standing on a dark stage,
when you are back in your village.
Come back to me fast I beg of you
don't stay there too long...
I'll die without you.
You know that I'll burn for you
if it is what I must do...
Perhaps in my passion and deep love for you
I sometimes do the craziest things,
only because it's my way of shouting
that I'm here for you...
alive and kicking.
Our relationship's not a joke
it's not to be hidden under a cloak.
I detest the times when you make me non-exsitent
when other people are in your presence
I wish that you would tell them I'm yours
and that I'm your business and not theirs.
Who are they to judge you
with what you've already been through?
You have the right to carve your own life
Why then did you make me your WIFE!
This heart throbs for you
it has never stopped beating for you
I am the only one who truly cares for you
and I take interest in whatever you do
I'm so concerned about you
and I hate people taking advantage of you.
I long for you my darling
Can't you feel that my arms are aching
just to hold you so close to me?
My love for you always comes of age
when you are back in your village.
So is it Saturday or Sunday that you are returning?
I prefer Saturday than Sunday my darling
Please come back to me fast
I don't know whether this long I'll last
without you my dearest sweetheart
Please come home soon
For I am waiting for you
Just to see your smiling face again
Your presence will take away all my pain
Come back to me again and again
my lover, my husband, the main
man of my life
this is your wife
wanting you to come back from your village
come back to us and we
come back to just you and me
come back soon please.

Why the hell is this woman pining for a man who obviously does not give a damn about her? Just ignore him. He's not worth her tears,
ANGRY
I want to know this universal truth. Why is it that only women pine for their men when they have to leave them and go somewhere for awhile?
I gather that her lover has forgotten her when he is in the company of his extended relatives. That should not be the case. He should call her and talk to her. Maybe he's selfish.

Such a sad poem! He marries her secretly and then keeps her a secret from the world. I can really,really understand her frustration.
This man is leading a DOUBLE LIFE! That's for sure. For all you know, he has a wife with a couple of kids somewhere else and this poor woman doesn't know it.
He's obviously taking her for a ride. She is nothing more than a mistress to him and SHE DOESN'T know it.

He LIED to her that he was going back to his village. He actually went somewhere else and we all know that he's cheating on her. Poor girl. She's in for a shock of her life when she finds out the truth.
You narrated this poem very well Neneps. Very good theme.
HATEMEN
She loves him so much. That is so clear here. What happened to him? Why must he keep her a secret? That is the mystery. Maybe he has no intentions of ever showing her to his family. He has a dark past.
A great movie in the making. Good job Neneps.
