Tale Of Love, Untellable Poem by nanda gopal

Love's not grown in gardens;
Love's not sold at market.
He who wants it, king or commoner,
gives his head and takes it.

Studying great books many have died
none ever becomes learned.
Two letters and a half in love,
who studies them is learning.

Narrow is the lane of love.
Two will never fit.
When I was, the Lord was not.
Now He is; I am not.

Kabir says: clouds of love
came on me showering;
Soaked the heart
greening the inner jungle.

A heart dry of love;
God again untasted.
This is man in this world;
His arising wasted.

Roused, ecstatic with His name,
love-drunk, overflowing,
reveling in His vision
Why bother with liberation?

Tale of love, untellable.
Not a bit is ever told.
The sweets of a dumb one -
he enjoys and smiles.
