Love At Fifty Five Poem by Kesav Venkat Easwaran

Love At Fifty Five



When I tell you
Love at fifty five,
I hear you chuckle;
I see you smile

I hear you say
With penchant eyes,
What a way
To go astray!

Listen! My mate!
To what I say
My love has age,
Years twenty five!

Young to behold
And young in mind
It won’t grey old
A million days!

None can quench
The ocean’s thirst!
The sky can hold
All this abundant light!

LOVE AT FIFTY FIVE...LOVE IS BEYOND THE BOUNDARIES OF AGE OR RELIGION OR SUCH IMMORTAL ENTITIES... ITS WRITTEN WITH INNOCENCE AND PURITY OF THOUGHTS... :)

I was looking into your poetry files & discovered this one which sings the poet's song, describes the pathos of his heart & nudges the mind of all the readers especially the mine. saved into my favourite closet. thanks for sharing this sacred feeling.

Your poetry reminds me of Swami Vivekananda’s disciple Tan Ten {Josephine Macleod] when asked about age she used to tell 2/3 years…Lo! She was young but how can be 2/3 years? She replied that she counts her age from first meeting with Swami-ji is equal to 2nd birth [spiritual] Love decreases age...but mind it age is but just a stupid number …has nothing to do with Love’s shelf life of lovers...lolol ...greater the intensity of love no matter what is the MFD and has no ED Voted 10 Ms. Nivedita UK MFD = Manufacturing date ED = Expiry date

I think this is incorrigibly sweet and I agree completely. Funny how age becomes like this extra aspect of our persons that is always a threat to make us look ridiculous somehow.
