Why I Can't Poem by Suresh Kumar EK

Why I can't
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
If I were a bird
I can hide in you
Among your twigs
Make a soft mattress in you
Without asking anyone
I could have gone wild to
Lay eggs in your heart and cover
Passionately hatched and carved.
I would hand over babies to you
would fly in search of food
In the greenery of your beauty
I could have pampered them
In the cool of the shade of love
I could have clung and loved

But why am I like this?
As if nothing was coveted
As if nothing had happened.......
