Modern Love And Lovers Poem by Dr. Yogesh Sharma

Modern love and lovers lie sleeping,
Through out the year among the bushes,
Hugging in the sunlight bright:
Black buffaloes come grazing,
Black crows come yelling there:
And round about them, eunuchs come begging.

Soft thighs are the pillow, for oh;
Kissing soft cheeks: passing broad eyes;
Cast surprise upon the hugging lovers:
Heavy wind and polluted waters
Grow lulled and scarcely speak;
There twilight laughs, in the skies.

Young love lies dreaming; but no way to fulfill:
A dark world under a perfect sunlight,
Or a fearing moonlight upon a rippling stream;
Or perfect silence, with song of cherished lips.
Burn odors round them to fill the drowsy air;
The scenes are not fair and song are silent.

Dreaming and drowsing till spring days are gone, -
With imperfect sleep: see the beauty
Them perfect music, hush unto his rest,
And through the rocks and bushes claim love,
Oh, poor the souls of earth from east to west,
Modern love lay near to poppied death.

Dark shadows deepen across the anxious faces:
So fails the love, with hot and tired breath;
Perhaps no season to replace autumn.
Success cannot touch them as pointed fingers there:
How do they love? Always play the tricks,
O! Love to the depth and claim the height.
