Love Poem: Nihilism

Nihilism

I solicit, can I be
your man, man of
dreams,
She smiled and
responds with
nihilism,

I startle with
embarrassment,
Nevertheless, she
kept on spiting with
criticism,

I lost and tears
bulged out from the
eyes,
Expel not this time
with pessimism,

In wonder and in
dilemma of bewilder
ness,
Fell down from edge
of optimism,

And truly I can only
yearn and pine,
Can’t I fetch her
with the power of
magnetism,

Here the word and
world lives, the
status,
Before which I can’t
stand with equalism,

Alas here a man live
with the loss of
hope,
Saying this love is,
“the theory of
illusionism,

And to beginning
alarmed of your
ways,
Not more than
pretension and
fusionism,

Quit this all plays
and leave a solace,
Can’t I bear your
yoke of fascism,

Of thy oppression
and cruelty,
So Shahid, be in the
shadow of
bachelorism.
