Love Musings 3

Love is the most misused word on earth. To what length will one go to be loved and to feel needed?  Life is too short to live only for others. I seriously feel that if we devote a little time everyday to explore oneself in order to love the self, the world would be a better place. Ego and prejudice are what makes us see life with jaundiced eyes! 

XI
“Love thy neighbour
As you love yourself, 
Hate not what he loves
Love not what he hates.”
I think…?
It’s time I changed-
My neighbourhood! 

XII
Love in a manner
Acceptable to society, 
It sets the rules, 
The path and the ways.

Hey! I thought LOVE was
Mysterious and Divine? 

XIII
As love is that entity
That no language can define
And no mind can fathom- 
So I can’t describe
The love I feel for you-
And hide behind “I Love You”

XIV
Minds meet and souls bond
Beauty seen even in its dearth, 
Minds and souls foreign mate
If bodies meet for body’s sake.

XV
Reflective life of a man in love
Starts with him and ends with him, 
Reflected in his every action
Reflections of his pursuit
Of righteousness and justice.
