Broken

I am in a dark room

Without any light

The moon beams light up my

Heart and face

I own nothing in this world

Just a broken down house

And a broken heart

With moonlight peeping through in the night!

I care for nothing

I want nothing

I just need some love

To carry on with my life

And a little food to feed my hunger!

I am lonely and broken

Right through inside

In bits and pieces, they lie

The moon is my only friend

Who lights up my heart

At night!

What's Love ?

Love is not just saying I love you

It's much beyond words

Hold her when she is walking through thorny paths when going is tough for her

Give her hope and assurance

That you will be there when she needs you

Take her for an outing

And give her a treat

However poor you are

Offering her the last piece of cake which you had saved from the crowded table

Sit with her

Talk to her Gently

Holding her by her chin

Looking deep into her eyes

Which says it all for sure

Drop her home safely

Holding the car door for her

To make her sit comfortably and shut the door gently

And lastly give her a loving caress as you leave her at home with assurance you are hers forever!

Love Amidst Coronavirus Pandemic ..

Amidst the panic and chaos

of coronavirus all over the world

she stood looking at him

with heartful of love and care

But she has not met him

nor spoken to him !

Her heart is full of him

and his charisma

and his total faith on his creator

whom he always praises in his divine heart !

She holds on to this

unknown man with full of faith

She sits and sings holy hyms

looking into the vast blue sky

and moving clouds

playing with the lush green grass

and catching dragonflies and let them off !

She is sometimes childish and

sometimes a girl in love

Her imagination flies and flies

and she lands up in his cosy lap

looking into his caring eyes !

She smiles to herself

Yes i know he loves me

But she has not met him

Nor talked to him

Her imagination

takes both of them

to the highest level of

divine love ever experienced

where they mingle in each other

A soul to soul love

A heart to heart feeling

till the end of their lives !

She smiles

She hums

Who is this person

I am in love with

But she knows he is

Somewhere far away

Writing love letters

to his love whom he is fond of

and she holds back her tears

in frustration!

Who is he

She doesn't know

She only knows

She loves him sincerely

and she sees him everywhere

and hears his voice

even while asleep

with no more corona fear

the spiritual romance

taking them to the highest level!
