Slushpiles.



I dont want to fall.

I'd have loved to love you, if there was no 'falling' in it.

 

I don’t like rains.

Droplets risking a jump to enjoy a fall.

Leaving the benign skies, they end up filling slushpiles.

  4. Asbah,

    I need some more readings may be ... Just one thing I wanted to mention - last few lines from the poem I wrote when I was in college:

    I say it to you
    And I would say it to all
    Rise in Love, and never fall!


    ... ahem! This won me a first prize, mind you ...

    I'm not too sure, but felt like these lines are related ...

    But, if it would not have been for the falling, would you ...? :p

  14. If it werent for the falling,
    If it werent for the surrending,
    If it werent for the vulnerability,
    If it werent for all that and more,
    Would it be love?


    Land into slushpiles they do,
    Puddles and puddles everywhere..
    Traffic curses, Umbrellas fly..
    But who knows it better than the parched earth,
    What rain truly is??
