Abdul Malik Mandani Poet Free verse

Breathless

Why this gentle breeze 
       ravages my soul?
Why this moonlit night 
       sets my heart on fire?
Why this sweet fragrance 
       renders my wits helter-skelter?
Why my quest for love 
       binds me to a forlorn fate?
Why does my dawn 
       draws down a dismal dusk?

Nothing pleases me anymore,
Nothing soothes my soul,
      Pray, what has befallen me?
      What ails my heart?
