A Silly Infatuation

a poem by Nadeem Zia G

It started as mere friendship;
demanded of me, a lot of hardship.
I liked the joviality in her heart;
for I too, was a little juvenile at heart.
Spent few memorable moments with her;
revered her as best of friends ever.
Then she was off to her kith’s nuptial knot;
as she loved that lass a lot.

Felt was it love at first sight?
For I was killed by her beauty so bright.
In her love I became a stupid;
thanks to the mischievous Cupid.
Thought we were made for each other;
as I couldn’t think of anything else than her.
In her absence, couldn’t spend a moment;
became a recluse for my mismanagement.

My life became nothing more than slime;
thanks to my fictitious relationship so sublime.
Solitude without her was like chilling winters;
as to me days became months and months like years.
This insanity of her love was all time high;
believed, for her sake I could even die!

When she returned with all fairy tales of the Wed;
which I felt was an ache in my head.
This unprecedented crush started to fade with time;
for I felt life was much more than this juice of lime.
Was it real love or just a foolish Infatuation?
This mystery is muddling my Imagination!!
