There Is No Love Poem by Dr Kamran Haider Bukhari

There Is No Love



Facsimiles of Aphrodite, Psyche and Selene
Characters changed; personalities shifted
Faces blurred; bodies cyanosed

Hard copies of saints, nobles and philanthropists
Intentions corrupted; benefits relinquished
Hopes burnt; smokes inhaled

It has been more than three decades now
Still I couldn’t find the thing called Love
Today I chewed my mind over it for hours
But couldn’t find a logic behind this famine

Absence of love in life
Can be an individual
Or universal ambiance
You agree or not
Yet I would say
Life’s like that

Love is all around dear Kamran - in every leaf, in the colour of the sky and more importantly in every human heart - -though we are notorious for hiding it away - - but keep showing it and it will be like the bread thrown on waters - - it will and must return to you........ one day....... and meanwhile a sure 10 for this evotive poem...... from Fay..

keep the desire of finding love ignited....it will surely beckon a restless seeker... 'Love like dew embellished some orchards for some a snowy carpet it made His currents of love rushed seawards on my palms like rain drops it played..' It has many forms...we have to dentify it... a great write Kamran!

life's like that....There is no love...a piece with honesty wonderful write... LOVE is in us....love for everybody is already engraved in our hearts... but love that is something felt for someone of a feeling for a lover...that is where the difficulty lies...and still depends on the bearer of the heart...esp for those who let there heart do the works... we can teach our heart to love maybe but there's a chance to lose it after... .then we continue searching...what's missing in us.... i like this piece..i find it realistic....for the heart knew when it will love or when it will lose its love.....
