Love & Self Poem by Praveen Kumar in Celestial Glow

Love & Self



Love is like a lovely flower,
Dazzles at times
In bright sunshine
And flares like fire
In animated crystal mind;
But, alas, withers
At out of its time,
And falls flat on face,
Decay'd, unsung, abused.

Love is atmospheric,
Rust on soul's face,
A refraction of mind,
Absorbing whole life
And distorting straight vision;
It's demon Rahu
Amidst chaste Gods,
Disturbing real world
In shades of shadows.

Falls to tatters
In the glare of reasons,
Sublimates to naught
In soul's cauldron,
Love is abstraction,
Edifice of desires
Of self to recognition,
Of mind to adoration
On bedrock of nothingness.

Nothing holds it tight,
Nothong mends it aright,
It's its own world;
Appears while it wants,
Vanishes all of sudden
Without a hint of rhyme;
Yet still like steel,
Resplendent in gold coat,
Love gouges out soul.

Love is fulfillment,
Love is true contentment,
Soul's ardent ale
That fills all pitfalls
And raises to divine heights;
In life's harsh world,
Love oils its grooves
In surge to dreamy world
And draws worth to self.
