Undervalued...



“ Two souls with a single thought
Two hearts that beat as one”
-John Keats



Is love a syndrome of madness?

Giving out a warmth, and vigour;

Affection and self assurance!

Nothing else contribute to one’s

Contentment in life, to carry on.

With the memory of one kiss till death;

Gratification of a birth by one touch;

It transcends through death to re-birth.

It carries humans to the lonely shores

Of death and re-births all at once

In the same moment of a lofty realization.

The mind always yearn to trespass

Into the forbidden parameters.

And the social taboos always relate

To physical promiscuity only.

Love remains in the spiritual sphere

Of passion and affection, and tenderness.

We have corroded ourselves in our quest

For physical urges and outward appearances;

They are ephemeral and evasive.

Limiting our vistas to perceive and

Comprehend the truth far beyond

Our gaze and reach, eternally.

Love has been debased through recent decades.

We try to buoy up a system

That has become obsolete and irrelevant

To modern life, that is insidiously destructive

For the soul and its purity.
