Your Love or My Love

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.
