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.

Ersatz

Had I been

A word

My Love?

I would have been

Your name.

Nothing else.

Isn't

And whenever

I think about it

It makes me smile

Isn't waiting for you

Waiting for myself as well?

Imperfectly Yours

For when we touch

We imperfect each other.

In love

Perfection is an anomaly.

Wages of Love

Who says Poetry doesn't pay well?

I've been living blissfully

From my-hand-to-her-mouth.

Thermoplastic Love

Then She came to me one day

And in a sarcastic tone said

"Mubashir

Your love is like polythene.

It doesn't go away"

"Hadn't I informed you earlier"

I retorted

"We are a threat to the environment"
