Schematic Love! Poem by The Ashraf Sheikh

Hope of a kind that is never to cease,
Oh! What can I say of such a heart?
The world wherein it lives to please,
Therein the grudges are beginning to start.

Kindled within with a single glimpse of yours,
Now those years have passed away like days.
Your beauty this cupful of wine ensures,
Insane my heart though its sanity prays.

I've heard of Romeo and Juliet's loving schemes,
A poet praising such a pair with words,
So what wrong if the poet now himself dreams?
Composing the music with his own melancholic chords.

The grudges I bore shall soon fade away,
With your arrival like the morning sun……..
Ignite your heart that sits so cold today,
Indifferent though my love, make me feel I've won.

A small life it is we know for sure…..
And whatever remains of it I've lost in stating,
An infectious disease that hath no cure,
Oh how much of this life I've wasted in waiting……! !
