Soulmate Poem by Dr Kamran Haider Bukhari

Hey!
You call yourself
My Soulmate
Did you ever try to count
The marks of the hidden misery
On my perverted soul-?

You say it all the time
That you are made for me
And me for you
Even you never peeped
Inside my soul
Your white blood never mingled
With mine tarnished one
You never dared to share
Your secret desires
Never manifested your true
Inner charisma
Which I felt the very first time
I touched you with my words
You expected me to follow
Your path of love
And I never learned to see
With anyone else’s eyes

Then
How and why?
I should believe you
And you should believe me
You know that very well
That we don’t believe in each other
Anymore
Still so proudly we decree
That we are the soulmates
Made for each other

This life of ours is nothing
But a journey
You and I are nothing
But virtual beings
Incidentally met while on board
And fated to reach
The final destination

So my so called Soulmate
I beg you
Please don’t talk about the soul
When you only look at the body
We’ll be permitted to be each other’s soul mates
When we would reach the final destination
Only if we didn’t change our itineraries
Under the influence of our humanly prudence
And restricted scope of vision
