Comparison – A Futile Thought. Poem by M. Asim Nehal

If I compare your charm with moonbeam,
Stars will wage war by saying they are more temperate;
I won’t be able see the guiding light when moon is absent.

If I compare your swiftness and steady walk with snakes,
Snake may take me to the task,
And I may have to run hiding whole day.

If I compare your scent and silky touch with flowers,
Flowers may boycott their fragrance to me,
Garden will be a piece of art work on paper.

If I compare your beauty with the nature,
I may struggle to find my way, with so much resistance
I Fear if my own soul leaves for better imaginations.

To stuck a fair deal with love and beauty
I may need to compromise with other duties.
Before the wrath of time falls heavy on me
I need to decide a better way for this fantasy.

Nothing waits too long in this temporary world
Wasting time may jeopardize my other options
I rest this matter by leaving it alone
You are truly beautiful with no comparison.
