As Crime Poem by Mehta Hasmukh Amathaal

As crime
Tuesday,31st December 2019

I loved you more
took in embrace and adored
each opportunity was explored
but soon it evaporated

I couldn't believe
my eyes refused to live
in absence of your presence
it made me feel sore and tense

I hate not
but sought
permanent exclusion
of the past relation

I loved it at that time
and now feel it as crime
why did I come so close
and chosen you as mine

life was so beautiful
but you made me remorseful
with no passage for return
you made an ugly turn

you might not have expected
the injury you inflicted
left me behind in lurch
and torched to death

Hasmukh Mehta
