A Lonely Bench Poem by Akhtar Jawad

A Lonely Bench

Rating: 5.0


As long as a bench is lonely
and there are not two humans
sitting on it,
may be friends or may be lovers.
God will overlook billions of benches
that are not vacant.
May be it's the only vacant bench on this earth
with nobody to watch the beauty of nature
its colors,
no body to feel its fragrance.
Come on Sweetheart!
The scent of your silky hairs
and perfumes of your colorful dress
are enough to become a part of the scene.
Sit with me on this lonely bench,
feelings of the flowers if scene will lack,
I promise to add it with a warm kiss.

Lonely bench waits for lovers to come and sit. Nature adores moment wearing colourful dress and flowers spread fragrance. Feelings are shared beautifully in silence. Love does miracle. A nice poem is interestingly drafted...10

Beautiful poem. Bench should never be vacant, in fact it must be occupied by twosome to enjoy the beauty of nature together. Loved reading it.

To experience the joys of nature with another person is the best thing that anyone can hope for. A beautiful and somewhat tantalising poem! Thanks for sharing Jawad sahab.

This invitation to sit together and enjoy the beauty of Nature is so hearty in itself! The promise of a warm kiss makes it even more inviting!
