They saw, they met
and they liked!
Made love, and
perhaps loved too!!
Longed to see each other 
and be true, happy n joyous! 
Always gaged  
in each other's arms,
felt so free, 
blissful n pious!

Today, the same two
seem skeptical 
seeing each other's ebullience!
Strange! Isn't it so?

It's amazing that....
Love has now got bounds!
And the loved one feels 
insecure n drowns!....
whenever he observes you 
in your own little space, 
blithe n with crowns!!

Has happiness become a slave?
Of the intellect n grace!
And no longer 
seems a matter of brace!!
By design, one cares!
But by default, it rares! 

Do I need to control? 
Or to be controlled!!
When he breathes at my neck,
It no longer evokes 
the once desired fantasies!
Rather an unease creeps in, 
of penetrating eyes! 
And a feel factor of fallacies!!

What does life expect? 
Does it wish to see us?....
Me and you!
Dependent, rather than Dependable! 
Pompous, rather than Propitious!
Conceited, rather chirpy n conscientious!

Let one understand!
Since time immemorial
there is nothing known as
Righteous or Wrong! 
True or False!
Nothing known as Absolute n Pure Eon!
and least the ethical...
Though there could always be
 more truth than a truth!

Let it be the way it is!
Let love  continue to pour n prevail!
And let the bounds be unbound!
Let it be exuberant, 
ecstatic and profound!!

Let the loved ones, 
never be forced!
And in the name of nonexistent perfect, 
play hide, and seek lies!

Just let it be so!! 

 I'm refusing to grow
Quiz myself, as to
how much I know?
Boasting  of superficial consciousness,
A Mirage to grow!!

I penalise my time today
As if it was yesterday!
Do I remember even the story
Of how it changed the theory
of love between us!
Longing for the one,
to light the fire!
An avoidable, yet
Beautiful desire!

That love from times seem,
no life ahead!
Preparation for one .... 
Is looking like life itself!
Do I need to grow?
