Live Not Poem by Mehta Hasmukh Amathaal

Live not
Monday,7th June 2021

Don't live in an illusory world
if love is to be expressed or told
you should have a bold approach
and reach the point of no return

either this or that way
there lies no alternative in any way
love is not a simple thing to cherish
and wait till you are finished

no use living in a confused state
there is an expiry date
with passaging time
love fades in a long time

how come one expects the homecoming?
when there was no attempt made for welcoming!
for poets and poetry, the theme is alright
but one has to fight for winning 'love or war'

love is not an easy cake
your dream and have a take
it is one of the most adventurous things
that brings either downfall or attainment
