Zero Sum Game Poem by Sadiqullah Khan

Zero Sum Game

Rating: 2.9


The dark of the night
In tiptoes she came
Shoes in arms
With yellow dress

Opening the pitcher
Of the wine old
A stolen kiss
In the door step

After many years
All she said was wrong
She was not in love
She said one day

I was sad for a while
Romantic I had become
A spell though she had
The creation of her body

Is pity love in the affairs
In detachment when I look
Back on the mirror
An existentialist behavior

No gain no loss
Was the affair I had
Like life itself
A zero sum game
