It cannot be tamed;
the pain of love.
Subdued, it may seem
for whiles in between
the volcanic eruptions.
And the raging streaks
of lava flow down the cheeks
of a lover, tracing burning lines,
to soothe.
A heart in a volcanic range
could only treasure the pain–
which flames a dying love.
That is very intense Aadil! Wonderfully written and a very good use of metaphors…. volcano and pain, lava and tears. Great work!
Thanks a lot Ayesha! Your comment, much appreciated!

@ Goonga jee .. thank you! you better lower your eyebrows coz it gives me a weird look of yours 😆
Your tajarba is quite kamyab and the verse reminded me of a famous ghazal I can’t recall this time .. 🙂
Pain and love
holding hands
two strangers in a boat
travelling in the waters of time
brought together by chance
the day a heart decided to fall for another…
Just for reference…there is no such thing as happily ever after…love gives more pain than happiness…its a fact 😦
@Asma .. but the lovers still crave for that sweet pain …
Allama Iqbal says .. mar dala hay meri aatish-nawa-ee nay mujhay,
aur meri zindagani ka yehi sama’n bhi hay</i.
My heart trembles when I read something about dying love.
Hey, everything is fine at your end….No volcanic eruptions na, waise I can’t see your eyes behind these dark spec 😉
@neilina .. yes things are very much fine .. twas just a thought .. can’t you see the essence in my eyes through these poems ❓ .. 🙂
It’s a very, very beautiful piece! One of the finest I’ve come across lately.
This is just way too intense for me to handle 😀
Nevertheless, it is absolutely well-written!
@Hina .. Thank you so much! I’m glad you liked it! Thanks for visiting my bog! 🙂
@nadia .. yes .. wherever there is fire, there is intensity 🙂 ..
Thanks for commenting!
hmmmm……….
well…. Pain gets sweeter with time but it aches more and more till it converts into oxygen for the lover, the day pain ends; he meets his last destiny. the crash of life……….
There is never ever happily ever and after….. there is always a heart wrenching which hurts more than everything and anything….
Yep, it happens.
