Fragrance of Love

Love-poem

Can you smell the fragrance of love in the air?

It like the presence of Aphrodite and Eros is just there,

Escape from it is not achievable,

Since it will bathe you with the smell.

 

Love is life, the unseen spirit,

That like Salim and Anarkali almost everyone tries to meet,

Fortunate they are who have the bliss,

Of love in their hearts as a niche.

 

If love is a country then the lovers its citizens,

Where the fragrance of love makes all the difference,

The nonsense gain sense and the ordered ones seem foolish,

This is the magic of love opening the doors of change, coolish.

 

It is love that binds us all with one heart,

The way the universe hates to let things fall apart,

As Shah Jahan and Mumtaz’s love does indicate its omnipresence!     

Lovers reach it no matter how near they are, whatever the distance.

 

Love cannot truly be defined,

Neither can it be translated,

It can only be felt as did Layla and Majnun,

Love was, is and will love be even if different is the dawn!

Love is everything, yet it is undefinable... There is such tender, sweet truth in your magical words.. The flow was exquisite and the rhymes subtle and pleasing.. It didn't knock me over the head with emotion or take my breath away, but it was gentle like a loving caress that tickled my mind and soothed the soul.. very nice..

I really enjoyed this. So I will just get out of my chest the intellectual side so I can continue to enjoy it. It is one thing to describe the permanence and immanence of love which covers like 97% of your writing yet you decided to invoke from all goddess and dieties Eros? and Aphrodite? the archetypes for sensual love and beauty I can't quite see them fitting especially becuase it would be very wise to escape from them... . I got that our of the way and the rest is a description of the presence of love and it effects and more than ever how much we need to be able to understand it and practice it.

Lovingly that is.

Thankyou

The mention of Salim and anarkali,laila and majnu,mumtaz and shahjahan was a dive into the past to bring into surface the everlasting and sacrificial love of theirs.. Yes we can't know when we fall for someone,when we lose our heart to someone still that is the most cherished feeiling in this entire universe.The way laila and majnu laid down their own lives for love's sake is commendable.. lovely write indeed. :)

Excellent capture of the philosophies of love. Love is the nutrient of life without it the flesh can live on but the spirit dies. My fellow poet brother i am in anticipation of your posting of further great works.
