Love and lovers

Contemporary Poetry Anthology by Santosh Kumar Biswa

Love and lovers

What is there in love, Filled with sweetness of speech every now and then? For the sweetness doesn’t last long, Once it is broken, never gives its sweetness back. It should be met with delight, With little added bitterness in it. Hence, to enable you to have a reason, For another new love, the next day to come.

The prolonged sweet words cut deeper, When hurt, never to heal again. The continuity, as it doesn’t possess, Of that of the new love, born again, Bartering the negotiation among two, With that of the recognition of the mistake fixed, Better love than before, for a better tomorrow.
