A Guide For Boys In Love Poem by Akhtar Jawad

A Guide For Boys In Love

Rating: 5.0


You are sitting on the bank of a lake,
Engaged in fishing and smoking with silence,
You are not interested in a particular fish,
Depending entirely on your fate for the day.

The fish may be beautiful or may be ugly,
A friend of your system or harmful for it,
It may suit to your taste,
Or just a food, for your hunger, so wild.

You are hungry and thirsty,
Just need a fish,
Being called by instinct.
Whether moral or immoral.

Bring your ears a little closer to my mouth,
Hunger of the girls are more intense,
But they know it well,
They may fish a snake.
What is inside the lake,
You are completely unaware,

(An immediate response to Yash Shinde's request)

An intense, deep write and obviously holds truth in its obscure verses.... 'If I am not wrong, fish is compared to a girl........If I am right, then surely, we 'Boys' surely want a girl for us, not really to soothe our heart but to satisfy our temptation............. A realistic write Uncle! .........and not to miss, hats off to your speed.......

I am a boy but I am not like this. All the five fingers are not of same size.

Of cause what resides in the lake is a mystery to our eyes and understanding.
