Abdul Malik Mandani Poet Free verse

As I See

It’s a complete package—
Love and sex.
You cannot have one without the other.
I love my parakeet
but I cannot go do…
you know what I mean?!

But sex alone is
A pitfall, a delightful deceit,
A black widow, a chimera, a mirage--
A romantic nonsense!
It is ephemeral, a concubine of time;
It shackles our free will,
Curbs our freedom…
A momentary bliss,
Life-time of rue!

Love is a misnomer;
If love means worship
It is God,
If it means companionship
It is a spouse,
If it means camaraderie
It is a friend;

But put together--
Love and sex,
They can either be
The pinnacle of bliss
Or 
The pit of abyss!
