To Forsake Or To Love i

Rating: 5.0


Love is strange, stranger than infatuation
Love is strange, it has no sights
It has no direction, it senses well
Yet at times senseless it can make us become.
Leaving the meadow that greens the earth
Why must I forsake the land that grows me well,
For the attachment that dances wild in front of me
May just be a passing phase of melancholic hormones in me.

True love sustains through pain and all that in vain
It seeks not the frills of selfish satisfaction in this wanton drama
In this life we see faces that smile and that which reminds of hate
Yet I feel I should remain the one ever the same throughout the time.
Every day in me I rush to believe, my love shall only be you my lord
Yet hesitantly wonderful souls cast me glances of love
And I am left alone in the buoyancy of thought that confuses me
Which is true and which is not, I know not, in this journey that I always trail.
If you love me throughout this life, for eternity will that remains?
Because in me the man hiding beyond the shadow plays his trick
With the mind that kills many thoughts yet entertaining many
I may be lost a while, until attachment binds me not anymore.

Love speaks in many tongues, yet some tongues are forked
It changes with time and places, with beauty and gentleness
In delusion I do not want to be washed into the unknown
Rather would be happy to settle with love that I have always known.
I hate to believe I have fallen in love once again, once again, once again
Leaving behind someone who cares for me all this while for years
I hate to believe that I can be so selfish cruel and ingratitude
Towards the hands that embraces me though without understanding me.
Every man and every woman has a dream silently entertained
Finer than anything I could imagine his/her love carries the light
Would it be fair to say, I do not know you after so many years
So, shall we part now and choose our own way?

It reminds, of praises and soothing massages that creep on me
But this life is not always to be shining without creases of darkness
I won't transgress every law of humanity, forgetting the sins
In the name of love, in utter selfish move I am leaving the one who loves me
Though her love I hardly see, in coldness I feel I live
Don’t you think I am being selfishly superficial?
To believe the duplicate is original?

Strengthen me if you are there my lord, free me from the senses wild
The wilderness in me tragically murdering my conscience today
To replace the light with brightness of another just for the sake of desires
Whereas, the rays that cast the glance of light is the same from any.

(Dedicated to all who lives in this confusion)
