Strums Of My Broken Guitar...( This is a poem dedicated to my beloved baby guitar who injured himself recently with his string snapping apart.... )

You, the most precious gift I ever got...
You, my dearest maa' for me had brought.
I so fell in love with you at the very first sight
With that shiny body and swift strings,
the melody that create, I might...

You, the closest one I could ever be,
Hugged close to my heart, like none ever be...
You, my constant companion in days of glee and gloom
You, I wanna play till eternal doom.

You, with pride I carry here and there,
You, like my little baby, my most dear.
You, for whom my love grows everday,
The Bond, stronger like old wine each passing day.

But,today seeing you in pain, my heart falls apart
Careful I was not, to let your strings snap part.
Was my fault for I forgot, you're delicate...
Was my fault I forgot, the care I had to dedicate.

As you lay now trembling in my hands,broken strings,
Crippled,bloodless bleed, your art fined...
The strums that you once played,
Still echoes in my empty mind!

You cry out to me to heal you and take away your pain
You want to be shiny and perfect as always again....

My eyes go numb seeing your silent pleas,
Realise, though you're wooden you've got feelings.
You feel hurt when part of your body snapped,
Just like us humans in same situations would.

You like to be perfect just like us...
To make you healthy again is my promise thus.
The songs that we played together,we shall again play,
The music that we created,we shall forever create.

I shall get a new string for you my baby, you fear not...
Cos' I still miss your strums and yearn em' lot!

You'll be shiny and new again...
Cos' my love for you shall not fade but only gain.
