Love Is Not Lust. Poem by Narayanan Nair. P Perunthanam

Love thee mind love and love
For, love is the binding Will of God.
Dip thy nib in love, and gently draw
Draw, sweet, sweet scenes around.
Honour blushes as Ego 'nd Pride
Upon thy cheeks fleshy, rosy dwell.
Body jerks, hinges shake, O! Lord!
Emotional volcanoes erupt lava.
[Blaze of anger burst around, once-
I espied danger and ran 'nd ran as
Tsunamis rolled down my cheeks
Feeble feet failed
to carry my weight.]
As we do violate the Nature's Laws
Laws of Nature will violate ours.
Walls will be wiped out, fencing too
Hills 'nd valleys will be ploughed
Not with ploughs, but thunder 'nd quakes.
Creator interlaced souls to depend
Unless repent on, own made calamities.
Love, give 'nd take that you need
Only that much you need, not be greedy.
Love is not selfish Lust insatiate
It is a candle-light, in service full.
Light brightening corners dark
Shows us creatures
equals, mark!
Love, thee mind! love 'nd love
For, Love is the binding Will of God.
