By The Deities, For The Duties Poem by Bidisha Sharaf

Have you ever been on a roller coaster ride

Where you constantly felt you were going down?

Have you ever woken in the middle of night

When you felt a part of your heart was snatched from your body?

By whom? Maybe by the Deities.

Was it my fate or I chose it to happen?

Things are never bound to happen.

If they are, then why would I fall for where there is no ray of hope?

What if that company I got never crossed my path?

Then maybe, no; certainly!

I would not understand what love is.

It was the most adorable company for me.

No, not that infatuation things type at all.

The emotional roller coaster ride is moving towards the end.

Oh, no I do not want it to end, why would I?

It gave me joy, thrill, Taught me to love.

What if I want to recharge the battery?

‘That is not possible! ', I say, He says, We all know.

What do you know about? Nothing!

I knew nothing, now I know everything.

Deities are laughing, saying, ‘What a fool you are! '

Hold it, make it tight and how?

Why are you blaming Almighty when He gave you options to reconsider?

The answer is, We depend on shackles, Shackles of

Homes, Duties and our foolish Minds but our Hearts!
