Love

 Pash asked today - "If I were to ask you one word - just one word in English - what it would be?"

This was easy peasy lemon squeezey for me. Despite the heartaches and heartbreaks - there is only one word, one song, one emotion that fires my heart - Love (in its true, unsullen form - it's a beauty that's joy forever!


Love -

One word
Lo and behold
Its kernel holds within
- You and me
 So many,
And, so much more.

Its beauty manifest
In our yearns and sate
Song of that bird
In heart of nature
Rains that resound
In lush over land
At times it is found
In company of mate
In holding of hands
Sharing of woes and jest....
Hearth of all hearts
Is warmed by emotion;
Earth and water
Fire and air
Spaced in love 
Produce the material here.

At the very least 
Love adorns 
Tale of that nerd 
Who fell in love
Without rhyme or reason
Then knelt in surrender
To Lord
Of Creation;
Then and lift 
gaze to beyond 
It's crystal clear -
Love propagates
It's at core 
Of progress n progression 
Be it at work or 
In non-extinction of race,
Science or art
Human evolution;
Beat of the heart
Our breath's pace
All find succour 
From love's Grace .

Reflection above 
Is mere fraction
Of whole -
Our parents
Our friends
Our siblings and more
In every direction 
Its to face of love 
We turn 
There's no way 
To avoid and make a run 
So long as we're alive
With love alone 
Life's rhythm is set
Love is its pulse.
