Sordid Love


Heart-shaped boxes & heart-shaped cards,
Heart-shaped chocolates & heart-shaped hearts!

In colors of red, pink & white,
& a beautiful red rose, I hope she likes…

5 ml perfume, 15 ml deo
Spirits are high & the Sun is bright yellow!

O mirror grand, reflect the truth!
How do I look from head to foot?

I am going to propose her! It’s the big day!
& the timing is perfect! Today is V-Day!

Wrong & evil, the elders claim.
But that’s nonsense so, let them blame…
& now, she’s my Valentine; I feel so famed!
But my desires are becoming harder to tame…

I am getting carried away, I am getting tempted…
What have I done?! My soul is dented!

I am so sorry for coming in your life!
But you shouldn’t have let me, until I made you my wife.

But what has happened cannot be undone...
Alas! We must repent for what we’ve done…

Wicked yet tempting are these affairs…
Stay away from them lest they flare!
To live without regret, better beware…
& your life's mortal so, you should care.

  1. I loved it yaar, especially till 5-6 prose, but then why did you have to put that love after marriage thingy! It spoiled it a little. But, it is still pretty good. :)

  2. Thanks a lot Shoaib! :) & the part you didn't like is the moral of my poem, & without that it would just be some rhyming lines without any message...
