Dear Love,
Crazy
things are done in your name
Many wounds
opened again
Fantasy became our reality when you came
Intoxicated,
he asks her name
Kiss, hugs
and kisses till dark turn dawn
Grief and
tears when one be gone
Romeo and
Juliet all over and again
Happily
forever never forever happens
Where comes
bomb, bullets and a soldier’s pain,
Death and
tears in a world you stay
Do we call
your name when foolish things we say?
Are you an
accomplice to a jealous lover’s rage?
When fists
and black eyes visit homes everyday
Chocolates
and roses seek to appease on Valentine’s Day
Shall you soon
come and tell us how we’ve strayed?
Is it true
you left earth for the moon to stay?
Why would a
mother kill her own?
And why do husbands
despise their bone?
Homeless children
know not your name
In winter's
cold will you knit them clothes?
Cook a hot
meal and cuddle them?
Tell them
stories beside the fireplace?
We hear you
tell wonderful stories
Alladin
weds princess Jasmine
Prince
charming meets Cinderella
Snow White
got a chance to live again
What do I
say when Disney is at it again?
Is love only
for the rich?
Can the
poor find you too?
Can an ugly
street urchin marry Jasmine?
Can Beauty find
you without being lost in the woods?
I think girls
with broken hearts would agree too
Love, love
is it true you exist?
Or are you
a story too good to be true?
Or just a
name we call, an excuse,
When foolish
things we say and do
Even when
we say, I do
END
