If I Were Immortal
If I were immortal,
Would the indifference that the mind possesed,
Surpass the empathy that the heart in itself
Dressed?
Would the nature's beauty,
Grow dimmer by the second
Breaking, their ancient treaty?
Would I suffer the great craving
Of the eternal release of death
With my soul out of my body crawling?
The forest that housed life itself,
With their great colours of play,
Would bade the colours away
With nothing much to say.
The waters whose ripples,
Once struck the heart chords
Would turn shallow,
Like the presence of time itself,
Whose birth and death would be nothing
But hollow.
---Ranaditya Adhikary
