Love Poem by Hamd Ejaz

LOVE MEANT NOTHING FOR ME
ALWAYS TAKING BUT GIVING NOTHING TO ME
BUT YET IT GAVE!
PAIN, SORROWS AND NOTHING ELSE TO ME

THROUGH SCORCHING DESERTS I TRAVELLED
THROUGH TORMENTED SOULS I INQUIRED
WHAT IS LOVE?
THE REIGN OF PAIN UPON THE WRECKED, THEY SMILED

I QUESTIONED THEIR EXPERIENCE
BUT I SOON HAD THAT APPEARANCE
AH! WHAT AN EXPRESSION!
JUST LIKE A VICTIM OF TOTAL OPPRESSION

WHEN MY PROPOSAL OF LOVE SHE REJECTED
HER PLACE IN MY HEART, SHE CEMENTED
IT WAS THE THING I DREADED
DREADED OF THE DREAMS SHE FOUNDED

ALAS! I CANNOT RELIEVE MYSELF OF THOSE DREAMS
TRY IF I SHOULD I CANNOT ESCAPE FROM THOSE REALMS
REALMS OF PAIN AND SUFFERING!
TRAPPED INSIDE AND SUFFOCATING! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! !
