Love: Rumination (Radha-4) Poem by Subrat Pradhan

Love: Rumination (Radha-4)

Rating: 3.8


A heavy sigh is brewing inside me
I have no interest to know it.
How can I make you understand
That
Elephant if in forest also belongs to the king
And you are mine and mine

When you will grow up, you will understand
Says mother.
But I have two mothers
Still I am unable to understand
You please try once to make me understand.

You were saying,
Why I made you my friend
When many were dying to be
My friend on the roads I used to go and to come
Flowers were also blooming on their breasts.
They had also known the witchcraft
And you had drunk the mesmerising tantric water
Many a time.

How can you know
Who is beautiful for whom
There are lakhs
But the wish is one and only
To whom or to which sakhi(girl friend)
Love is the game of a looser
And it is for my curse
Love is the battle of a winning warrior
For all time to come
And it is the declaration
To succumb the defeat
For all time to come.

Ah, yes, that is very true. Love can be a real game sometimes, especially if you pursue the wrong person. Your poem is very good. It has a lot of truth to it, and it has a lot of emotions. You are a good poet, especially if you are able to present your emotions like that. You did a good job.
