All For Love! Poem by Avinash Nair

I put my love for you
Into words,
Words cleverly disguised
To look as if mine,
Every time I catch a new
Emotion, I put it down,
Write and rewrite
Edit and re-edit,
I have done all that,
That is not right,
I have broken into thoughts,
Into imagination that rots
In my mind,
I have strangled some words,
Choked their crooked necks,
Until I got,
What I wanted,
Sometimes, yes sometimes,
At desperate times
I have killed a few words,
Drowned them in my sorrow,
Given birth to a few,
All for my selfish needs,
Expressions that reads,
To meet a new morrow.
I have also wordnapped
A few astray words,
But 'twas all for love,
Love quietly trapped
Into my soul.
