I am guilty of

In the loneliness of nights,whenever I take myself to my own court.I realise that I am guilty of dreaming dreams,for someone who is not mine at all.I find myself guilty too for having wishes,which are only to be shattered.I am guilty of planting the flowers,which are to be withered before they blossom.I am guilty of loving flying butterflies,as I am enclosed in a cage of my ego.I am guilty of having an urge to be with thee,in the case I am nothing to you.I am guilty of taking a bath in rain,while I am like a burning piece of paper.I am guilty of having some glow worms on my palm,while I am asked to see only the darkness.I am guilty of adoring my motherland,as I am asked to be mum n diplomatic.I am guilty of..........I am guilty of...........I am guilty of so many things.But I am not ashamed of my guilts.I wish I could commit more and more sins,like the guilts that i have commited previously.If to love humanity is a guilt,then I am proud of it.If to wish for peace is a sin,then I will commit it again and again,till my last breath.

  • Dear Nafis,
    Really thanx a lot for the appreciation of the poem.U are true in ur point of view that these are not actually guilts but the fact is that the materailistic and mechanical world n society around us take our positive aspects as negative.And it is also true that sometimes sensitive people are called mad only for the reason that they are trying to show the mirror to the society.
    Thanx again for ur nice comments and It will be a source of courage for me.
    May u have the best of everything.

  • Dear Sabah,

    Your poem is really nice! The guilts that you mentioned here are not guilt. On the other hand, I got the feeling from the poem that you are so innocent and very nice person and all thoes things mentioned as guilt are the best.

    "If to love humanity is a guilt,
    then I am proud of it."

    Thanks a lot,
    All the best,
    Nafis
