For You
Since morning pondering how to write a good poem for you
wrote several but what comes out is story
of my failure, a story of disappointment, feeling blue;
no that's not poem, it’s saga of worry.
Yes, reluctant to share a story that would make you gloomy;
surely desires to see you always content;
That's the heartfelt thought to write poem, to see your smile truly
to meet you in happy mood, with no dissent.
Thinking if I can't bring happiness, why share suffering, pain
as it would definitely make you unhappy;
why to pull you in my life what's in a world of inhumane
when I am convinced that won't make you happy.
Rather I should be certainly far away to make you free
from difficulties; Maybe destiny wishes it for me.
