Love Is Ember Poem by Sadashivan Nair

Flare of Love,
Dragged me into its marshy heat,
Inebriated mind surrendered,
Drowned deeper and deeper into it;
When regained conscious,
Found flare transformed into blaze;
Left no choice,
But to burn in warmly heat;
Even in that heat,
Had feel of chill;
Forgot all,
Gave in to its intent,
Inebriating burning love;
Cohered towards its needs,
From one to two and two to More;
Journey followed,
Towards the heat of love;
Love is ember,
As earth's burning inner core,
Cools life and soul,
As crust gives life on earth;
