on the ruins

on the ruins of my grave
strew those flowers
that bloom in love season
and lovers which crave

forget not to lay a bunch of roses
and carve my grave next to his lane
by the side of the river in lover’s premises
midst the roses and roses and roses

and shed some tears
for the poetess demise
for the peace of her soul
for the love she wears

 
why don’t you come

deads
are enthroned
in a hard framed portrait
a little space they accommodate
hung on the yellow walls
in the hall

incences
fume holiness in front
of the still picture but snapshots
of their memories walk
around

they walk
as a live picture tapping
feet on two legged silhouette
as lively as the mortal
man of breath

family
cherish time of the past
only to search some solace
blowing tearing sobbing
wiping eyes

secretly
they sob oh why do we miss
you deep wretched
hey why don’t you come
hun

lust and love

              lust is a  pleasure

for some moments

blessed by the virtue of

impatient  behaviour

love is a bliss  persistent

 

sticking and ungoing

lust is haughty fuffy

an arrogant hilly river

love is quiet but deep

like ocean serene                                lust comes and goes

love rests forever

deep engraved vivacious

 

lust is complaining

love is understanding

lust is a drop without which

love can stand firm  stern

 

without love lust tumbles  quick

and would be lost soon you see

love forever lives flourished

celebrated life long unrivalled
