I sat with a pen to write a poem.
I am knocking my head for thoughts.
My heartbeat ran faster than my pen.
My dreams ran faster than my thoughts.
I wrote a few lines.
A thought of mine erases those lines.
My genius pen expects perfection in his every soulful creation.
The sun sets down the sea.
All the birds are gathering at their nestles.
The sky is roaring with thunders.
Clouds started whelming their tears.
Her beautiful face screams in my mind.
Suddenly it awakened my dream girl.
My eyes are searching for her here and there.
My ears are waiting to hear her beautiful voice.
My heartbeat stopped at that moment.
I felt the whole universe is paused as time willingly stopped.
I knew the pain of feeling of her essence.
The darkness before me is real.
It haunted my soul.
But sleep of mine is a lie.
Subtle smile and eyes with gleam still stood in front of me.
Thoughts of my past made my eyes wet.
My paper tore with the tears I cry.
People around me are very busy to survive themselves, like robots preparing to lead a life, they are obligated.

Something holds me from being unconscious.
But the struggle for me is deserved.
The sound of the clock tick tick reminds me of the valuable seconds I spent with her.
Bulbs that shine on a perfectly bright day started blinking in the night as my thoughts.
It was bliss for me to have you in my life.
Time knew that you never come back for me.
We are apart at a distance of almighty, even I feel being together.
I am running with time with no zeal in life.
I will peacefully rest my body in bed only,
When I see you again.
Only when my loneliness is taken away by you.
Then I learn to love the day.
Until then I sit here with a glass of wine, hoping to write a line.

THERE IS LOVE – THERE IS PAIN.
