Midway (Sonnet)

There is no midway when you are in love.
In the same way, a midway cannot exist yet,
in writing a poem. On the way of becoming a poet,
one cannot actually wear a non-poet's glove.

When you have a fear of losing, you lose love.
Back and forth steps create a nowhere scene.
Being or not being : nothing exists in between.
The same happens with politics, when you think of.

Either it sinks you completely, yes completely, or not at all.
Swimming in love, a glass of infatuation you cannot drink.
A journey begins the moment your plans start to scroll;  
about returning from a mid-way you do not even think.
Does one live a half life? However it ends, it's always full.
It's Khushru's river, to cross it, you definitely need to sink.
