My Selfish Love

A red rose is not selfish for being red

Nor it’s asking other flowers to be red

It blooms beautifully as to how its yearnings

Without caring how those greedy eyes might be craving

Those waves would never leave the ocean

They stay loyal without any resistance

Does it make the ocean selfish?

Only narrow-minded people might wish

A beautiful rainbow always comes with the rain

Does it make the rain selfish for not sharing the rainbow with another?

Even a kid would have explained

That the rainbow and rain are meant to be together

That’s how I made my eyes close to other’s visions

And shut my ears to others’ opinions

All I want to see is you and me

Selfish love? Let it be…
