A Heart-break

A heart- break
P K Routray
A heart often breaks,
when a relationship cracks,
when the fear for future
apprehends pain and torture,
incidents real or thoughts imaginary
may break the heart and make it scary,
when you lose your loved ones,
out of mercy for others’ fatal pains,
when you are engrossed in a story or in cine picture
your heart breaks with heart breaking scene designed for you by the movie producer,
when you listen to the pathos of a song
with fully immersed frame of mind all along.
How can a heart not be broken for a while?
had it been pristine but not stony and sterile?
Life should have both pain and pleasure
without either of them, life loses the charm and the challenge’s flavor.
Heart should swell and sink, cry and smile
there by making living in this mortal world worthwhile.
