No Escape Poem by Nosheen Irfan

No Escape

Rating: 4.8


To escape love
Is no small task
You can smile
You can wear a mask

But love will seek you
As lungs seek the air
You can run or hide
Do what is fair or unfair

But love will follow you
As your shadow in morn
Or it will rise to meet you
As your shadow in eve

Till you will tire of escape
Its futility you will see
What's ingrained in you
Without it how can you be

Love is the breath
Love is the light
You need both
Be it day or night
