REQUIEM FOR LOVE

I wanted to 

Be God

Always! 

I still do!

Friends were sure

I was insane! 

But why is wishing 

To be God

Thought to be

Crazy?

Or for that matter

Goddess?

My lover always 

Says

I look like a

Goddess!

And I love smiling 

At him

Like an 

Angel! 

He loves me

When I smile,

He wants me to be

Happy!

As a child,

I wanted to be Robinhood!

Friends back in school

Thought

That that's a crazy 

Ambition!

But why not?

I would have

Worked day and night

In my own special way,

To get the deprived

What they wanted! 

And they would have been so

Happy! 

Plain, simple, happy!

Laughing in glee!

But if I was God,

I would have 

Created magic

For people.

They would have just 

Prayed to me,

Raising their hands,

Towards me...

For their wants 

And desires,

And I would have

Given, just given,

Without too much of a

Hanky-panky!

Imagine the smiles on their

Faces!

The tears of joy!

There would have been no 

Havenots then!

My lover always 

Says,

I always imagine too much!

But he loves me anyway! 

With my crazy imaginations

Et al! 

One evening

As a little girl..

I was blown away 

By the fact that I had it in 

Me

To be a Florence Nightingale!

I still want to be one!

My lover flashes me 

That 

Smile,

And makes me fall in 

Love

With him again!

And what if I was Mother Teresa?

I ask him! 

He just looks away, 

Emotions giving way to 

Tears!

I know....

I hold his hands and ask him!

Imagine if I was God!

You and I would have done only 

Good

For everyone! 

Irrespective of any religion,

Any borders, any community!

There would have been just 

One World, one people

And only equals!

My lover and I flew over the rainbow, our wings flapping together in unison!
