Understand To Love Poem by malini kadir

I did not hunger
Till I went hungry
I did not realise the pain of it!

I did not ever go without!
To realise the pain of it!
Till I had to face a spell of a bad bout!

Friends; for all our brilliant logic
And highest of intentions
Perhaps we little feel the pains of the other
In a different pair of shoe
Till we walk a mile
With them……….

I realise not the pains
Of the robust woman
Who circumstantial;
Man’s her family
Scoff at her!

Nor the man
Who puts a seal?
On the box of his dreams
When far from fructification
With his family in mind!
Call him an ordinary man! !
As he against odds
Strides through his day


Nor the man whose emotions hay wire
Caught perennial in a game of mutation
By the Lord who trusted him
With the ability to carry it off
Through his life!
Masquerades for acceptance
In this very ordinary World!

Till love bloomed
To ease pain………..
To see the other side of things!
I too had passed through ….
Have my will tested
By the harsh winds of time! !


Till my heart

Could understand enough
To LOVE!
