I DON'T LOVE YOU (I JUST LIKE YOU)

I Don’t Love You

You keep staring

From the corner of your eyes.

You look at me,

While I’m looking away.

When I look back,

You shudder and retreat.

Both of us know

What you are doing.

You drop hints about your love for me.

Come close, egg me into proposing you.

But you can’t make me fall in love.

‘Cause it’s clear that I don’t love you.

I just like your child-like smile,

Your innocent gaze,

Your caught-in-the-act

And then embarrassed phase.

The movement of your hands,

Stealing sights a few,

Giving a side glance,

I just like you.

Your friends,

They know all about this.

They are helping you

Bridge the gap between us.

Trying to get us

Into talking,

Trying to develop

The love that they can’t.

I might try to test the water.

Go close, then hold myself back.

No you can’t make me fall in love.

‘Cause I know that I don’t love you.

I just like your black spects,

Your glad days,

Your showing off

And then shocked face.

The sound of your voice,

The deep red hue

On your swollen cheeks,

I just like you.

No! This is not possible.

Not letting my guard down.

I’m preoccupied with my goals.

Love is the last thing on my mind.

You could climb the stepping stones to my heart,

Only to find a deserted mountain peak.

No you can’t make me fall in love.

It’s sorted out that I don’t love you.

I just like your child-like smiles,

Your innocent gaze,

Your caught-in-the-act

And then embarrassed phase.

Your leather jacket,

Your brown hair too,

Your tied plait,

I just lov---- like you.

1000 Views in & Updates on Poem #2

Hey Guys!

A great news people! My blog has crossed a 1000 views in less than 30 days. I consider this to be an important milestone considering the fact that this blog is not about something that is already famous. It consists of new ideas and original posts by the author/poet Shivam Murari (ME!).

This achievement could not have been possible without your support, my wonderful readers. The way you have encouraged me with your views, your shares, your likes, your +1s in unimaginable considering that this is my very first full-fledged blog where I have started putting up poems that I have written. So,  thank you a billion times for being there for me and providing me with the confidence to continue.

I am currently working day in day out on my Poem #2, which I am going to upload real soon.  The poem belongs to a genre that I have found real interest in, in the recent past and, hence, have written a lot of poems in that genre. So you might find that the next few poems are going to be very cohesive in nature as far as the genre is concerned.

The next poem is something very different from "To Draupadi". It deals with a topic which is just as universal as the issue discussed in the poem To Draupadi, but is of a completely different nature. It, unlike the matter of To Draupadi, has been discussed and written about by the poets since time immemorial and that is what makes this topic so cliche-prone. Yet I have tried my best to add pangs of music and mugs of new angles to the idea. I have tried to express it from a different perspective while ensuring the topic remains the same at the soul. I'm really excited to make you all read my next poem.

Till then read To Draupadi again by clicking HERE.

Please keep showering you love the same way.

Take Care. Stay subscribed. See you soon!

 You are not a slut.

You are not a whore.

You are not what people think.

You don’t deserve the abhor.

You didn’t choose polyandry,

It was a nonsensical fate.

A man’s sly desire,

But you get all the hate.

We hail Karn’s sacrifices.

We all feel his pain.

He is held like a hero.

Yours go in vain.

When the rules of a game

Became bigger than your honour.

The respected men, shame,

Pushed humanity to a corner.

Turned a deaf ear to your screams

As you were disrobed to their gaze.

The honourable men errant extremes

But dirt is shoved in your face.

A symbol of rape victim

Slut shamed by the society.

A fodder of the chauvinists,

A pacifier of their insecurity.

But you don’t need our sympathy,

You are fire in disguise.

The sexism,however, is thriving

So I incessantly despise.

You are not a slut.

You are not a whore.

You are not what people think.

You don’t deserve the abhor.
