That Sweet Blasphemy Poem by Bijita sharma

'where there is love, there is bound to be heartache.'

uttered no words
leaves no stain
those colors are so dull
I still feel vague

'Sufi thinks he sees, and the philosopher thinks he knows.'

I know, but I don't see
he sees but does not know
paradox prevailed
life unfulfilled.

'Open my mind so I may see the truth.'

amidst the conversation
of joy and sorrow
they are forced to deliver
the lecture on hatred.

'But I hadn't made any choice; the path has chosen me.'

Shoot in the dark.
leaves no mark and come
again towards you, shattered
and exhausted
gives only a weary smile
at the end.
