We are not different
But with bounty of differences
You are white, I'm black, while
You are black I pledge for white
We are apposing, accusing, admiring
At eachother we look
Most often praying lest not to hurt
We tear emotions apart to bleed
Yet crave for a small smile
And every smile is put on test.
Enormous wall we build
Walking by the same side
Its funny at times
Dreadful many a times
We are perfectly imperfect
Different at our best and worst
Yet we run behind each other
If not together
Like those tireless tides
But the magical moments we create
While we together cuddle
Make the heaven lean for us
Coz , we are so mightier
He desired cunningly this way
Is He worth anything
But marvel now.
I am proud in telling
You are only, my better part
And I love you, a lot
