In The Name of Love

Finally The poet has to come for the rescue of the blogger.Today I am posting an intimate part of me-A poem writtten in summers of 05.


In The name of Love

This

is not a poem

to be read with rapt attention

Nor

a sketch of palm

of an unfortunate fatalist.

This

is not a map

drawn in the name of lost treasure

Nor

a truth untwisted.


Rather

It is a distance

measured from wrong end.

It is a moat

which drags one down

with feet up and chest downwards.

It is a weightless feather

of sparrow's broken wings

floating aimlessly in afternoon wind.

It is the last stone

one always leaves unturned.

It is the curse accepted

in the name of love.
