(Yet another 20th, and this time it is on self discovery related to the theme of the verb Love itself. Hope you are able to appreciate my dive into one of the most well researched but inconclusive subject during these anniversary like special moments. Do give your critique. Lots of love to you, my audience, my readers, my virtual yet real space of expression. My gratitude to Adam and Suman ma’am)
Is this Love?
The days have really flown by
So have months after months
With anniversary and such special
moments just around the corner
When probed by the pure soul
I always get reflections of a
Long sustaining strong bond
but after a self defensive brawl!
Has the relationship given love
to the companionship for life
And care for each other, as well
as intimate moments, so ripe!
Or did it provide….
A well conditioned room
for breath seeking emotions
That are too air-conditioned
to be honest and loveable
That they remind of a fragrance
as fresh as a budding groom!
The soul continues to probe…
Can love really be conditioned to
a point that is beyond physical
Or it needs to be liberated enough
to go well beyond mystical!
As magical that each moment is
an opportunity for transcendence
And self awareness is at a premium
It’s implicit trust and boundless love
That can lead us to that Elysium!
If there is love in the air
Then for sure the fear is rare!
The fear of losing rocky Crab
as he continues to behave
Like an strong headed Creepy Crap!
To an extent that there
is either complete vaccum
Or an encroachment on space
As little battle between the
self preservation & self control
takes away even the grace!
Being challenged by thoughts
that need to be a bit inclusive
For me to possess the integrity
and my love to be more joyous
I am dumbstruck to be exclusive!
I continue to ponder…
Against the glow of my soul
Was it me or someone else
that created its own silhouette
Or was it my egoism and….
overflowing self love (obsession)
Causing me to somewhat extol!
These virtues of glorified love
Only unconditional love can unfold!
This desire to achieve the elusive
To resolve the conflict within,
That connection is being confirmed
That hungry soul pines for….
can hardly be reaffirmed!
That pristine childlike surrender
need not be always in paper n ink
That divine mercy can simply
get ignited, as we are in sync!
