Loving You is Not Easy

Sabiha Huq

Loving you is not easy.

You, a child at heart 

With adult’s vocation – 

You need to travel the road 

Of ambition unnumbered 

You are enigma to yourself.

 

Loving you is not easy.

When thousand misgivings

Litter the route to union –

Destiny and destination 

Do not cross in our tradition

You are a faraway phantom. 

 

Loving you is easy.

When desires die within

Wildfire rests in the bosom –

You invade my dreams 

I travel a hundred miles 

To reach a beautiful mind.
