SOMETHING I LOOK AT-106

 SOMETHING I LOOK AT-106

BY-SMRUTI RANJAN MOHANTY 

    RHYMING WITH LOVE

fall in love with love

feel its warmth and beauty 

it will not allow  you to grow old

you will remain young forever 

if you are true to your love

it never ages

nor it will let you age as long as 

you are in love, with its rhythm and rhyme

don't let it silently languish

let it blossom with all its colour 

or else you will only make you a machine

devoid of a heart and your true grandeur 

keep it burning deep inside

don't leave loving and living 

you will be only killing yourself 

bathe in the perennial stream of love

let the dirt and filth accumulated

leave your mind and body 

open your eyes!

and see how beautiful life is

love never lives with apathy and negativity 

ego, suspicion, hatred, jealousy and hypocrisy 

get over these, that will make you a lover

otherwise, you can never be in love

not the easiest of things to be in love

it is a hero's bravery, not a coward's longing

always for the loved one, beyond the physical body, its craving and desire

when love is love, the unison, joy and ecstasy 

are at a level, totally different of which only a few are aware of

you are to make yourself eligible for the elixir 

otherwise, you will be confusing love with lust and deceiving yourself all along 

let love and life rhyme 

reason and emotion meet

heart and mind work in tandem 

the inner and outer you coincide 

let life begin unfolding its grace and beauty 

living become sheer poetry

and love becomes the only reality
