The Book of Love
Once upon a time
I was gifted - The Book of Love
Pretty, lovely alluring me a lot
It was then
When I was climbing
The ladder of my aim
I thought it may cause disturbance
But I couldn't quash my eagerness
As soon as I touched the book
Warning words flung from the cover page
"Don't open this book,
It is harmful for your health"
I ignored & shrug off all suggestions
'cause I couldn't quash my impatience
I opened the book of love, atlast
It was beatific & heavenly
Smiles were raining
With unusual feelings
I was like flying with invisible wings
Ah! It was whole heaven
In the book I was reading
One day I woke up
Found faraway my competitor
& I was down on the ladder
I closed The Book Of Love
Tried my best to step up
Now, for me it was not nonchalant
'cause I was mucho addicted to that
& I couldn't quash my desperation for that
Very evening, I poozled The Book Of Love
On desk in bags & cupboard
On ventilator, under beds & all drawers
Here, there & everywhere
How could I so careless & sloppy
The Book Of Love was lost - Huh! Unhappy
I went to the person who gifted me that
To say sorry - I lost that
Then I came to know
An outrageous news-
The Book wasn't lost
But he took his book back
Crestfallen, I pondered what I lack
Every single second,
I was going deep in quicksand
One day I saw
My previous progress cards
Grade A in all of that
I opened my textbooks
So challenging & interesting were those
I understood the best book
Not The Book Of Love
But those of my school
Now I'm ready
To compete with my friends
Oh! What's now?
He offered me-
The Book Of Love again
Now I don't need this- I smiled
Just keep this flotsam with yourself
