Only Love Poem by Akhtar Jawad

Only Love

Rating: 5.0


I was never anyone's need,
in fact life was my greed!
A dream,
lasting for millions of years,
sometimes an accident interrupted it,
sometimes it was ended by a sickness,
sometimes it was killed by a race,
sometimes discontinued by color of my skin,
but for most of the times,
the dream became a nightmare,
due to a blunder committed by me.
A blunder that changed the comedy
into a tragedy.
I wished if I get another sunny day
and I awake,
I shall not commit the blunders committed in my dreams.
A soul smiled on my intentions,
and said,
"All right I can try you once again."
My life was nothing but just a trial
in that I always failed!
I wished to get another billions of years
sleeping, dreaming and preparing myself
for the next trial.
I am hopeful,
every time when I went home from the trial room
I went with more love and lesser hate.
May it be infinite time for myself
but finite for the kind and loving soul.
I am sure I shall finally awake
for a never ending comedy.
Even if I go back
I shall go back with love,
only love!

A poem of great depth. I hope in our next life we would be able to amend or rectify the wrongs we have done. Yes, love is the only way that can change the ugly face of life. A great poem with a meaningful message.
