Rupture

Since the breaking

Of a

Poem

Into stanzas

Can never ever be equal

To the breaking of a heart

In pieces

Hence

Nothing about it

Will ever be written.

- Everything endured.

Darya Prem Ka

The boat of my body

Has capsized in the

Sea of your love.

So next time 

You ask:

How are you Mubashir?

Don't forget 

To count the ripples!

Atonement

We don't love

In order to teach. 

Mind it!

We love

So as to rinse

The sins of our ancestors.

Hence

When she said

"I love you Mubashir"

I replied

"Since when?"

Notified

She left me a note:

Mubashir

Today I understand 

That poem of yours

Which you had written

On the last page of dreams

With my leftover henna

Why isn't it about love?

Goosebumps

Her one touch

And my whole 

Body writes a detailed history

Of goosebumps in less than a second.

In the land of my skin

Love is a coarse journey.

Beloved Curriculum

Your laughter is an Introduction

To countless novels 

Of my selfless heart.

In the syllabi of my vast love

You are an essential reading.

Unrequited Love

Because falling madly in love

Is such a cliche

Let's together perform

The best unrequited love ever.

Come!

Let's passionately touch 
And forget each other
Forever.
