PLEASE LEAVE ME NOT........

PLEASE LEAVE ME NOT........

Please, leave me never in staggering, crippling  and shy shivers

Alienate me never as the hollow husks are blown away by farmers

As the boats abandon and forget the dry, withered and sandy rivers

As the crows’ nests are deceitfully left by the young cuckoos’ mothers!

Please, leave me never like an innocent, wretched infant, illegitimate

As a hungry man, after being fully fed, leaves ungratefully his empty plate

As the shells of grains are scattered after the kernels are eagerly extracted

As the boisterous stadiums are deserted forlornly after matches are played!

Please, leave me never like the poor, pitiable and hideous snake-slough

Please evaporate me never like exhaustion, disgustion and indignation puff

Please comb me never off like the filthy, irritating and obstinate dandruff

Please dump me never like unhygeinic, unwanted and left over dustbin stuff!

Please, leave me never, nor treat me like an unnecessary and used copy rough

Please deem me never ‘Good for nothing’ or redundant like a slice of stale loaf

For, you have been, in your ignorance, my very heartbeat and my life’s breath

Do trust. Without you I would gladly prefer to kiss, cuddle and clasp “Death!”
