POEM BY RITA BORUAH (INDIA)

LOVE AND LIFE

Love and life are attached to each other
Beyond love a life is like a cow without a tie.
Love is the centre of the universe
Thousands of lotus bloom in the lap of nature.
Its the heart of  every soul
The spirituous liquor to make
a life transcendental.
Love cares people both,
one who gives
and the other who receives.
Its a fascinating factor
That is made of heartfulness,
compassion and promises to blither.
It appertains adoration,
attraction, care, honour, security,
affection and the magnanimity of faith.
All this as a matter of fact, helps
one at all events.
Frankly speaking, love and life
are two sides of one coin
Both enjoy their entity in good faith.
We all love ourselves, more than other men
But we care more about their opinion
than our own.
That is love, and I can usually
see something of beauty in it
That our conscience is acrobatic
in serving others.
I think, there is beauty in everything
What normal people would perceive as ugly.
Love is not just an unsteady kind of meaning
It is a heavenly gift upon the creatures
of the world.

Somebody says, the root of all love is libido
But its not the sign of heavenly one,
just of ordinary anecdote.
All thoughts, all passions all delights,
whatever stirs this mortal frame
Are  all but  ministers of love and feed this sacred frame.
Love is the prominent factor on earth
The supplicating wealth
Life is the game of sadness,
an incessant war.
Truthfulness and beauty are whose
infinite youth of love
Its love that can alone give
us permanent delight
Nature gifted the world a grove of love.
Let me work out a grove of humanity
Where every creature can enjoy love and amity.
