What Is Love? ---Iii Poem by Bijay Kant Dubey

What is love?
Love is feeling,
Emotion,
Affection,
Sympathy and bonding.

Love is affectionate bonding,
Love is a thing hearty,
Love is of the soul,
Who loves it the heart and the soul,
Say you?

A lover of the heart,
A lover of the soul,
You will not find it,
A lover of the heart,
We all lovers of the body.

I see love in the daughters,
Small-small daughters
Going to village school
With the knapsack to sit upon
And lime pencils and slates.

I see the labour girls
Going to labour schools,
Guileless, simple girls
So warm and affectionate.

The dark daughters
Smiling in the sun-burnt hamlets
Of the country
Bearing the brunt of heat and dust.

Love has many shades,
Many shreds,
Love is not love if full of guile
If not full of simplicity.

Love is a thing of the simple heart,
Love is to feel the warmth,
The joy of living,
Is to feel the happiness of life,
Love is life.

Love for family,
Society,
For the nation,
Love for things and men and the world,
How to express the shreds of thought?

Love for the mother,
For the sister,
For the father, the brother,
Love for family,
Love is life
And if they are happy, only then I am happy.

To love one is not to hurt anybody,
To love is not inflict pain upon,
To love is to love truly
Is to be with in pain and pleasure alike,
To love is to share joys and sorrows.
