You die; I die - Love Poems - Part 5

by Nikhil Parekh

  smile merrily and swim,

  To get out of the bountifully blossoming scent of passionate rose; I used my nostrils to optimum effect; closing them intransigently with my fingers; to block my nose to the most inconspicuous of fragrance,

  To get out of this planet forever; I used a gleaming knife to slit my throat; eternally end the chapter of my baseless existence,

  But no matter how hard I tried; implemented infinite steps of veritable barbarism including the ones mentioned above; I still failed to get her out of my mind; and for each time I tried to forget her; her image became a million times more embedded in the very center of my mind; the very center of my life .

  The End .
