Unlove

A heart that loves, eyes that care

A tongue that lies, for good or bad thee only knows

For hundred wrongs, one right is enough

For thousand tears, one smile weights more

Nothing could be more perfect, none was loved more

These sorrows of love never end

Not the lost love, the given-up love

This memory of love haunts always

Forbidden love seems truest…

Dry well

I’m a well. I’ve a tree growing from my core. It’s green and tall. It reaches the height more than I ever could, even more than what I was when full till mouth. Oh, those were the days! I was accompanied with people. They gave me their full love, installed machines to help me push water to them. More than I ever asked for; cleaned me, guarded me, beautified me.

Then the time came for retirement. I’d completed my service. Now I’m dry.  And deserted, it’s like I never existed, like I’m invisible to those who loved me. I don’t complain for that, maybe I’ve had all the love that I could have.  Does that mean hate quota has started? Those who throw garbage in me, how can they forget the clean water they withdrew? Those who spit in me, forgot the pure and cold water they drank off me? No, they cannot; these people are different. They never loved me, the one who did, must have departed. God, I don’t want to die suffocating from plastic and garbage. Could I at least ask for a peace in death? Please, spare a few stones and mud for my grave. Let me die with pride.

Moon

Everything is still, as I stand in my balcony. Staring at the lake water, and the reflection of moon in it. It’s a full moon night; yes the silver moon with its shadow in dark water.
For a moment I considered, how lonely moon is in the universe, I could share my loneliness with it. But moon is not alone; it has its companion, imprisoned in dark deep waters. Silently they converse, with silver rays only; could I have someone to talk with eyes only? Moon raises the tide, to untie the water bonds off its love; their endeavor to be together goes on, forever. And I walk back in, and leave them to their solitude.
