PROXY LOVE

I have often wondered
why love is not two way emotions pathway
i ask too much
get a little reply
from either side

i come home
heart looks for
what probably is not there
i convice it a lot
but things remains
every eve
i drop at the door steps

what causes so unparallel
i struggle hard

i was moving to my room
before i asked many times
petunias with colours lit large
over the shades
rajpath pathway
my everyday love lorn
i look around
as if someone of them
at the least
break the long drawn silence

another day
it will
or may not at all

but i have to
so are they with their beauty

but why beauty is too exotic to me
i ask again

my black roses smile from the thin air

love is often
what lies under the thin layer
difficult to realise
less responded
often forgotten
ignored at the least

i stare at them
