Best Poems Written by Atharv Gawde

Closed Within

Lock me behind bars,
Hide my eyes under the cloudy sky.

Sweet to burn my heart,
Kiss my nape and burn my soul.
Lovely crime, to love a boy.

He despises the fate I write,
The will I wish to sign.
O dear Lord, I beg as I close the closet,
How gay, and never overjoyed,
Over loving a man who hates my wine.

I plead to close the gates of my closet,
So, I never let him out of my mind.

Diamonds locked inside the safe.
