THE THREE WORDS. WE PRAY.

Sheryffat

Should I believe in these words!

For the unforgettable aches I got from its swords

For its existence is everywhere 

Alas, in some souls, it's nowhere

 

In million miles, it's fake

In million minds, it's feint

Bewildered I am, to take

Not a little should my soul be at stake

 

I term the words, fable

Hi, it makes one stable

While it's to the Supreme who is able

We pray to place us on the right table.

  • Comment from author about the poem: The idea of the poem is vividly stated. The poetic persona is portrayed sitting on the fence. She doesn't know whether to believe in the commonly used words "I Love You" which is metaphorically represented by the poet as "The Three Words", or otherwise. Although, "The Three Words" makes one stable, the poetic persona is confused as she had been hurt by these same words. In the last stanza, she seeks God's guidance for herself and for others who are in her shoes in order to make the right choice and decision.
