Poetry from Dr. Perwaiz Shaharyar

Middle aged Latina woman with dark curly hair and a black beret next to a lighted candle.

Dedicated to Jeannette Eureka, the Beloved of all of us:

Falling in My Sweetheart’s Love

So tough is to fall in a sweetheart’s love

Just fighting with eagles to survive a love

Because, eating a fruit by stealing tastes much

Offered fruit seems to be insipid as such

If there is no fear of being caught

No one will pinch a Lady of scout

Love needs daring and fools like a moor boy

A genius gentleman  cannot fully enjoy

Aristocrats and snobs  can praise a girl’s vanity

A rough-tough man can deeply appreciate the beauty

Love and lust have their different connotations

Love lasts, but lust loses instantly the compassions

Girls keep in your mind while love someone

Make sure your man loves only you and none

Lust is the first step to the actual love

If it is true it leads up to the divine love

God has created human beings not for worship

Angels are enough for worship men are meant to love

Love your neighbour love your companion

Love yourself before you love your woman

If you don’t love yourself first

It is not your love but merely a lust

Keep in mind that a good mind good find

If there is doubt in your mind the doubts you will find

Stylized 19th century European painting of a young couple embracing in the grass.
