A Poet's Love Poem by Sadiqullah Khan

A Poet's Love

Rating: 3.0


Bread and butter literal
Warm melting and fluffy
With hot brewing coffee
Poor man's dinner
I thought

Writing poems on paper
Poor man's intellectual curiosity

Down the street goes
In golden robes
Dantesque court writer of eulogies

He has given up everything

The first love of the poet
Is begging for a meal

The other who happens to be a poetess
Is writing on the wall
Using charcoal
In the hush of the night

The poet himself
Is in deep liability
Plans to buy himself rum
Than food for the night
