Valentine Day Calls Poem by Akhtar Jawad

Valentine Day Calls

Rating: 5.0


I am not calling you towards a God
that differs from person to person.
I am not calling you towards a nation,
having different landscapes and flags.
I am not calling you towards a shopping mall,
where you can get anything if you have money,
I am not calling you on a busy road
that you cannot cross on your feet.
I am not calling you on a flight where,
you get an artificial smile for a few hours,
I am not calling you to a dining hall where
you can eat anything if you can pay the bill,
I'm not calling you to the dancing floors
where we suffocate in the crowd,
I am calling you to a small house,
where there is a bouquet of rainbow colors
where an innocent girl is standing on the doors,
looking again and again on a few days old crescent,
where she has cleaned and shined the floors,
it's call of nature and she loves to dance,
where she has decorated her dining table
with a number of dishes you like to eat,
where there is a loving heart with a hope
that soon you'll carry her to the church,
to make a promise to the dear God.

A beautiful poem of love and hope. A vivid depiction of simple life yet there is always true love, peace and contentment. A one of a kind write beautifully crafted. So apt for Valentine's Day. Happy Valentine's Day, Sir Akhtar.

Each poet is unique and so are you with this finest Valentine's poem, ditto a unique Valentine's verses. The atmosphere in happiest mood, much delicious food, the house and floor cleanest scrubbed by her housekeeper. Not by her, Akhtar Sir! She would be his Valentine, but not his housekeeper, SIR! the instant meeting is warmed up, WOW! What a warmest welcome! It seems you're the matchmaker of the girl in this poetical venue.
