Love Examined Poem by Saptarshi Banerjee

A masked face approached my conscious and demanded a definition of love!
With raised eyebrows I juggled my soul alike in water the featherless dove.
And pierced my vision the eye hole on the leather covering my sweet heart's face.
Love was an illusion what mattered was examining my desire to chase.
And chased her, I with determined will till enveloped she was to me.
Unveiling her, her hair on my shoulder kissed we to be 'the'.
