Empathy

Some of my poems are wordless and do not make a human out of it. I find it extremely difficult to feel like other humans Perhaps I have only learnt to be like a human and not feel like one.

Some of my poems are wordless



and do not make a human out of it.


I find it extremely difficult to feel like other humans


Perhaps I have only learnt to be like a human and not feel like one. 


To feel the empathy is priceless and to feel your pain


my pen carries a heavy heart.

Your blue grief, I cannot let them turn black


into grey ashes and white oblivion.


A wooden heart is a theme for my work


Call my name


Speak to me


I will bear the burden of emptiness


If there is a little empathy left in me.


When there are news of accidents and when


ambulances rush in the crowded ways  


When houses in the streets are burning


and I could only hear the fire truck’s siren and do nothing


May be there is an empathy left in me


But I could not help the beggars in the streets


except giving them few coins, fruits and paper notes.


When a dead bird is being buried in Auden’s poem


I think from my heart;


Where my poetic bird of empathy has landed?
