Nature Of Love Poem by sarwesh tiwari

EVEN LOVE HAD TO STRUGGLE
AND PASS WORLDLY STAGES
TO COME OUT VICTORIOUS
DESIRE, EGO, INSECURITY AND LONGING
IT HAD TO PASS MULTIPLE CAGES.

AT ITS INITIAL STAGE
IT IS INNOCENT LIKE A NEWBORN CHILD
EVERYTHING IS PIOUS,
THE WORLD LOOKS NEW, THE NATURE TURNS QUEEN,
THE DAY BECOMES GIFT, THE NIGHT A MUSICAL SCENE.

SOON LONGING STARTS TAKING OVER,
BRINGS THE SENSE OF SEPARATION IN THE MIND.
LOVERS DREAD THE DISTANCE BETWEEN THEM,
AND WAIT FOR THE MEETING TO COME.
AH..THAT SENSE OF EUPHORIA OF SEEING EACH OTHER,
NO OTHER THINGS LOOK BETTER THEN.

THEN THE DESIRE HAUNTS THE LOVERS
ALONG WITH EGO AND INSECURITY ITS BROTHERS,
THE LOVE GETS CORNERED WITH MULTIPLE EVILS,
IT EXPERIENCES THE FIRST JOLT, DEATH IS SEALED.

TRUE LOVE RISES, RISES ONCE AGAIN
BY BREAKING THE BARRIERS OF THE MIND,
BY LOOKING BEYOND TOWARDS THE DIVINE,
BY SEEKING MERCY AND BY SEEKING GRACE,
IT GOES ONE STEP FURTHER AHEAD IN THE RACE.

AT A MATURED STAGE, TRUST IT WANTS
RESPECT FOR EACH OTHER, SPACE IT WANTS
CONVERSATION TO FIGHT MISUNDERSTANDING, IT WANTS
PATIENCE TO REALIZE EACH OTHER WOUND'S, IT WANTS
IT WANTS A RESPONSIBILITY TOWARDS EACH OTHER
HAND IN HAND LOVERS THEN MOVE TOGETHER
FOREVER AND EVER AND EVER.
