Why?

by Ramendra Kumar

Why
Do I write
Only about you -
They ask.

Sweetheart,
Clutching
The silhouette
Of yesterday’s images
I cling on to
Today.

Your requiem
To our love
Ricocheting against
The weary fabric
Of my
Hopes.

Why
Do I
Still seek love
When even
Its ashes
Have scattered
Mingling with
The dust and grime
Of reality -
They query.

I write-
To breathe.
I love -
To exist.
