Raj Babu’s poem explores the complexities of love, highlighting the unspoken longing and tension between two souls, the bittersweet embrace of love, exclusively for Different Truths.

As if she doesn’t know,
Behaves...
Her ways, a knack
To keep me Away
Though
She embedded,
As the breath of my Life...
 

She struggles to
Shut the doors
Of her mind
Pushing thoughts
Of mine
Biting her lips...
 
She knows, deep down,
In her being
How inseparable
We have become,
Yet she resists
What futility...
 
I am at the threshold of
Our meeting point,
I sit and wait,
For that dawn...
Hoping
For Sunrise...
