Your Love or My Love?
Sometimes I wonder why
love has diverse shades.
From selfless to obsessive,
love exhibits many grades.
Seldom it rises like a storm
sweeping things in its wake,
and at times it lies placid
in a frozen mountain lake.
Occasionally it is so intense
it makes a person go mad.
More often it is unrequited
making people feel sad.
In the lonely silent sobs
that no one can even hear,
in some wistful moments,
when eyes roll down a tear.
In the expressions of art,
love seems so effervescent,
and in a few acts of kindness,
it flows so steadily silent.
love may need just a moment
when someone may feel so deer,
and there is love that grows slow
and deepens year after year.
For some chasing pleasure
in the name of love, is a venture.
Some get uprooted and thrown
into life’s biggest adventure.
Starting from a light spark,
it becomes a blazing fire.
strong will of a joyous soul
keeps it from turning dire.
A nectar which all seek,
love is that divine miracle.
and we feel it is so diverse,
just for favour and receptacle.
The test of love is love
and the taste of love is love.
The essence of love is alike
be it, your love or my love.
