Retorts on Love

Some reflections on the illusion of love

Retorts on love

A thought whizzed past, along
this crowded mind of mine..
a charm that had forth long
Been the maker of my shine.
-does the charm utter "love? "
the heart queries, but I may ask
Why does love, a word so curled
Been presumed as the bask
of all the dazzle in the world
...
Is that love that holds life
So close, when life seems to cease
Is that love that holds a knife
So close to heart that seems to crease

Why do people fall in love?
My heart yearns as all hearts yearn
the retorts of the truthful dove
Whose feathers, not yet worn
Though in their flight,
they seem to burn
Though with every truth, darn
Unto themselves they bring plight

O truthful dove,..
Do people fall in love and glow,
Like the kite that met the sky,
Which when wind did flow,
With a broken string, left a child in cry
A broken child, left lone
So spoke sand, to the lonely heart :
"perhaps the kite and sky were meant to be"
"perhaps the kite was too dent to see"
A few tears shed, the child left
And where they stood to be,
Later the wind did blow,
For, the wind.. a wicked blind sage
The kite that flew, oh such hope!
Pity, flung to the ocean's rage
A moment, the waves did stop
And the ocean, calm and kind
Later, the waves did throb
Torn and tussled, the kite met shore
From where, The child had left
and the sand was swept
For there, Those tears were kept
that the child had wept
....

O Truthful dove,
Is that love that brings irony
O truthful dove,
Are we blind in this agony?

The dove retorts:
"dear heart, look around
.. Around with wonder
Ear the mystical sound
.. A spell to fall under

Look around, around with wonder
The eyes of a mother
that gleam at her child,
The face of a groom
that dream at his bride.
The cheeks of a child
That beam at a toy.
The sky and the sun,
The dark and the moon!
Is love not that you see? "

Love, a luck to adore
Love, that takes you to the core
Of that what forges a world
Without all the bitter cold

"Love, a luck to adore
Love, that takes you to the core
Of that what forges a world
Without all the bitter cold "
