Letter To Love

The world is doing whatever it can, Love, To show you That it cannot be the place You would prefer To enjoy As freely as would a child Rather than choosing The comfort and the stability Of the heavens As it has been promised to me While I slumbered in the depths Of the night! You had stubbornly chosen to mock me Making my revelations seem to be jokes Over which you would care to laugh When you would be done with your duties! You had even steadily chosen to hurt me Breaking my heart into millions of pieces Making me understand that you love me not But that you would prefer to saunter along While holding the hands of another! But the truth has emerged Earlier than I thought it would As, in the end, Maybe the skies had had more than enough In seeing me agonise Over something which they will to see Happening! Pray, Turn not a deaf ear to my laments, This world belongs not to us The body, the name and the personality That you carry belongs not to you Rather, Lent they have been to you As such remains a requirement for everyone Who wishes to travel in this world! And someday, We are expected to shed off everything And turn Into celestial butterflies Submerged in the pleasures that shall be Offered to us there! Open your eyes, Pray, please do, And see the truth in the hurt That I carry on my soul, In the blood that flows from my eyes And in the millions of pieces of my heart As they lay scattered, Unheeded, On the floor! A God you are, Fallen in stature, Overburdened, trying to juggle In a world which holds no meaning And which is turning out to be even more shadowy As the winds of doom keep blowing their evil seeds Over its lands! I have loved you in the many lives we have had before And I still love you in this one life As I anticipate already For the next one! Waste no time, waste no opportunity, Hold my heart in the palms of your hands And love me As the skies will you to! Written on 18th May 2020
