By Bijita Sharma
"Where there is love, there is bound to be heartache."
Uttered no words,
Leaves no stain,
Those colors are so dull,
I still feel vague.
"Sufi thinks he sees, and the philosopher thinks he knows."
I know, but I don't see,
He sees but does not know,
Paradox prevailed,
Life unfulfilled.
"Open my mind so I may see the truth."
Amidst the conversation,
Of joy and sorrow,
They are forced to deliver,
The lecture on hatred.
"But I hadn't made any choice; the path has chosen me."
Shot in the dark,
Leaves no mark and comes,
Again, towards you, shattered,
And exhausted.
Gives only a weary smile,
At the end.

Good one Bijita !
