Is That You Call Godliness? Poem by Amitava Sur

Hemming a wish within myself
With all my fervor and zeal,
Fancying or fantasizing
To keep you as a princess with all ambiance,

Accumulating all happiness and peace
To keep in front of your feet,
Wanting to see my love
With full content and grace.

But a sudden gust of wind rammed on the door,
Breaking my small castle.
My those fantasies are just delusions now,
Vanquishing all those dreams.

What a quirk of fate I’m witnessing now
Being so forlorn by losing my love.
Throne is there with the estate intact
But the princess is not in sight! !

Rows of defeats have crippled me
And shunted me in a dark cave.

All my dreams thus eroded
My love and I are separated
The zeal to live has evaporated,
Leaving me broken and so alone!

My existence now, as I find it
To be so meaningless and a farce.

How could You be so mean
And do that foul to me?
So cruelly, so untimely
And so unreasonably too!

Your this godliness reminds me
of a nemesis only! !
