Why Do I Love Thee? Poem by Dr Kamran Haider Bukhari

Why Do I Love Thee?



When I was asked
Why do I love?
I was silent for a while
Then reciprocated
With my modest eyes
And said
I love you
Because I was born to love you

You called me a Liar
“A True Liar”
Now
I reaffirm this to myself
Every time I speak the Truth

Dear Kamran These words could be recited by him only, whose faith has been broken badly....To be truthful is one huge a task but to make people believe that u are truthful is probably impossible, that too in these times.......i have long stopped to convince people....what have you chosen to do? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ?
