Melancholy of Innocence

Melancholy of Innocence Mar 2020

Our way of LOVE is
Described as that of the heart,
And not that of the head

But it is not true.

The heart will give us
All kinds of imaginings,
hallucinations, illusions,
sweet dreams --

And
The head will give us
All kinds of fears, pathos
desires, neurosis, psychos --

But nothing can give us
The Truth of LOVE

The truth is when we
Leave behind both:
Heart and Head

LOVE is in our soul
Our consciousness,
Which is neither
Our head nor our heart

That is where we realize
True AGAPE LOVE
And that is the
The Truth of LOVE

Colorful Palette of LOVE

Oh BelovedZ
YOU are the ocean of colors
Each light you reflect &
All lights that falls on YOU
You carve a rainbow out from it

Please shoot me with those rainbows
Let those rainbow colors -
shower on me

Even if a little -
a dew drop will do
I am even ready to drown myself
In the shallow rainbow "shines" -
of your dew-drops

Please, please, please color me
With the spectrum of colors
You carry within you

My soul is pure,
My heart is clean
I am no one you know of
Like an untouched white canvass
I am such a stranger to YOU

But I do not want to -
remain a stranger anymore
So drown me, drown me, drown me -
in your colors....

Oh BelovedZ...
Make a garland of your rainbow
Let that garland be decorated by
Dew drops of your spirit

Let me insert my LOVE strings
Into the beads of your dew drops
And let me wear a necklace -
of your colorful beads

Let me make a paste
Of your colorful flowers
That you grow within your soil
And let me apply it -
All over my face & body

Let me sip each glass
Of your colorful sharbat
Let me remember your taste...
Within my being...

Oh BelovedZ...
Drown me in your colorful waters
Grind me along with your colorful petals
Dissolve me within your sweet syrup
Melt me into your flavors
Cook me along with your spices

Let me create a monument of LOVE
From your colorful stones
And let me dance in that monument

Let me create music
Out of your colorful notes
And sing melodious LOVE tunes
With the poems and songs
You pen daily from me

Please play the colorful jingles -
on our LOVE beats
And shower me with -
drumbeats of LOVE colors

Oh BelovedZ... No wonder,
I am so lost in your LOVE
I know it is only me
Who sees your utmost beauty

Flowing out from YOU
Are those thousand colorful rivers
Flooding me with your gush
Soaking me damp with your waters

Sweeping me off my feet
Let me flow into your downstream
Take me into your deep oceans

Oh BELOVEDz... I wonder
How you manage to bring out
So many shades of your colors for me?

And still I know this TRUTH that
You have not yet opened your hidden
Colorful palette of LOVE for me

A tribute to
The Festivities of Color...
My BELOVEDz - LOVERz
Plays with me...

Precious to LOVE

LOVE saved us
But destiny played us false

We are not crushed by work
Under rubble of despair

Nor we are beaten by life
On the islands of solitude

We've never hurt anyone
Nor we've never harmed anyone

In despair and grief
Our LOVE for each other
Is still alive -

Our LOVE is not dead yet
We will LOVE forever -

Speaking of our "LOVE"
We are alive today

If we were not subjected
By the game of fate
Together we should have been
- Below the dark moon sky
- Below the light sun blues

In the world of today
That is so anti-LOVE
We wander around
Wearing dervishes robes
Roaming the streets and lanes
We search for each other

May be somewhere, somehow
We might have crossed each other

Like two going and coming trains
With both of us looking the other way
In melancholic LOVE
Thinking of each other

So quickly the closed buds bloomed
So mysteriously breaking into blossoms

Now we are so precious to LOVE
That we will find each other again

As our true LOVE exists, exists..
So as to never be lost again...

NOWADAYS

Fate brought us face to face
So we came near each other
Your soul illuminated me
To make me LOVE YOU

Then life pushed us away
And we had to go
With the saddened face
Away from the laughing world

Your tearful eyes
And my humiliated soul
We stepped away from each other

Neither had we come near on our own
Neither had we LOVED on our own
Neither had we left on our own

If anyone can find
A few other BELOVEDz-LOVERz
As defeated & successful as we
One can only find them in stories of
Romeo-Layla-Majnun-Zuliet

It is the fate of all BELOVEDz-LOVERz that
Whatever move they make in life
Is at the loss & longing in LOVE

Yet, LOVERz are fortunate
That they don’t get hooked to
The lures & charms of living life

Let BELOVEDz continue feeling LOVE
Let LOVERz continue realizing LOVE

Only then a BELOVEDz soul-LOVE
Can rescue a LOVERz life

Thus, one should keep LOVING
Until one finds within
Birth & death in LOVE…

LOVERz-BELOVEDz
Are born out of LOVE
And die due to LOVE

Otherwise…
In today's times & today's world
Who cries in LOVE nowadays?
Who dies in LOVE nowadays?

Melancholy of Innocence Feb 2020

Don't say "NO" to LOVE

Don't say "NO" to LOVE
LOVE, being in LOVE & LOVING
Giving & receiving LOVE
Is not in your hands or mine

Ours is just a very short life
Of less than 100 years we live
Within the billion light-years of LOVE
So don't be so proud of your being
Don't carry on the EGO within
Thus don't say "NO" to LOVE

We are just a tiny molecules of dust
That floats around aimlessly
It settles, becomes wet,
Sticks on something
Dries and flies again
Seeking for LOVEz
In search of a BELOVEDz
So before the dust flies
Away from your life
Don't say "NO" to LOVE

All your dreamZ of life
Will die a cold death
All of seeking of "self"
Would never happen without LOVE
So don't say "NO" to LOVE

All the colors of the world you see
The rainbow spectrum around you
All will disappear with life & work
Imbibe the colors of LOVE
In our hearts
That will stay beyond our death
So don't say "NO" to LOVE

Just chant the name of
BELOVEDz - LOVERz
Everyday, every time
Till you breathe your last
You will be blessed with
Showers and floods of LOVE
So don't say "NO" to LOVE

Just let one dew drop of LOVE
Fall on my soul during this life
And let your birth be resurrected
So don't say "NO" to LOVE

The one who LOVEz
The BELOVEDz - LOVERz
For them -
LOVE is the shore
LOVE is the drowning
LOVE is the abyss
LOVE is the sails

Just take a hug & a kiss
And live a slice of heavens
Just for that sake...
Don't say "NO" to LOVE

Please tell us about
How we are supposed to
Cut the distance between
BELOVEDz and LOVERz soul?
Now they can't stay away
From each other's LOVEz
So never say "NO" to LOVE

No wonder the rebellious
Birds of LOVE
Sings the songs of
LOVEz Revolution
There are no leaves remaining
Just dry branches and thorns
Where will BELOVEDz - LOVERZ
Go to build their LOVEz nest?
So never say "NO" to LOVE

Nor this life will remain
Nor this birth
Nor the youthfulness
Nor the passions
Nor the work or friends
Nor the time will come
For the LOVE to happen again
Nor will the fate
Make us meet at the time & place
The way we have met NOW
So don't say "NO" to LOVE

Be prepared to leave everything
For one BELOVEDz- LOVERz wish
Let LOVE take over your life
BELOVEDz - LOVERz are
A vast ocean of infinite LOVE
That awaits for us
To take a plunge in its fire

The day when...
BELOVEDz - LOVERz eyes will meet
Just a gaze of LOVE is enough
To last for a millennium longing
That day will be Christmas
That day will be Diwali
That day will be Eid
So don't say "NO" to LOVE

Just surrender every bit
At the feet of BELOVEDz - LOVERz
What is the use of this world
These birds, these flowers
These trees, these mountains
These rains, clouds and sea
Without being in LOVE today?

Only the one who LOVEz
Really is alive in the world

So we are thankful & grateful
Let us show our gratitude
To each other
For being blessed with LOVE
For letting LOVE happen in this life
Yes, let us show the world that
We will never said "NO" to LOVE

LOVE’z Solemn Ratification

Oh BELOVEDz
Let OUR blessings
Come upon the world
As the earth and the sky
As the sun and the moon
As the clouds and the rains
As the oceans and the deserts
Truly, our LOVEz is
Praiseworthy & glorious
Because Nature has blessed us
So to be …
Amen..!

#####

OUR LOVE is the way
We are fulfilling our
Existential duties of
Being born out of
Each other's LOVE
As ascribed by our past Karma
"None will suffer till
We LOVE each other"
Ek Omkar..!

#####

"The one who created
The thorn-laden crown of LOVE
The one who ascended
To LOVE and live life
Thus Nature embraced us both -
We became for all
A exemplary-worthy symbol of
The LOVERz-BELOVEDz"
Thathaastu...!

#####

LOVE...!
Whose place of esteem
Is much above anything else
Our world could offer
Or understand in words
Spoken and / or written
Thus our LOVE
Becomes the one of
Highest order….!
Om Tat Sat…!

#####

We are the ones who
Surrender to the
Supplication of LOVE
One who LOVEz - for them...
Hundred sins are forgiven and
Thousand blessings bestowed
Ameen...!

#####

It was only through
The BELOVEDz illumination
LOVE was created
In the LOVERz heart
Just by a LOVERz existence
It is mercy & boon on BELOVEDz
Hallelujah…!

#####

Nothing compared to LOVE
Happens in the world ever
Nothing similar to this
Before or ever after
Will happen again
There was none before and
Will be none after "LOVE"
Astu...!

#####

Our LOVE for each other
Has neither beginning nor end
Our LOVE is always
Fresh and fine with our
Compassion & empathy
Towards each other
Our LOVE will survive even after
We'll all be dead & gone
Thus we LOVE each other
Agape and Infinitely
Permanently and Eternally
Insha-Allah...!

#####

LOVE’z Solemn Ratification
