Do you want me to write poems <br />No <br />I will not <br />I will write for you <br />And for my self <br />I do not want to write poems <br />Or prose <br />I want to narrate things <br />As I see them <br />As I feel them <br />When my heart bursts into tears <br />When my heart sings with happiness <br />And when I have nothing to think <br />Don’t call these as poems <br />These are narrations <br />And words <br />They do not devour books <br />Or forms <br />Or a linguistic beauty <br />I do not want a Pulitzer <br />Or anything else <br />If you say <br />That I have written for you <br />And if it brings smiles to you <br />And if you think that the natures misfortunes <br />Are ours together <br />And if you accept <br />My apologies <br />For all the sufferings you have had <br />On behalf of nature <br />And if my songs <br />Bring that redness on your cheeks <br />And the shine in your eyes <br />And speak of your hopes <br />And those red lips <br />Talk of red wine cups <br />And your mouth turning from a fresh flower <br />To a bud with that wonderful glow on your face <br />And if those tears from your eyes mixes with mine <br />Then I will think <br />That I have said something <br />Or written something <br />But alas <br />I am only busy in child’s play<br /><br />Sadiqullah Khan<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/my-poems-10/
