When love remains bare
Exposed to the harshest summer
The heart has to bear the pain
Robbed of natural beauty and innocence
Love does not flower anymore
Withering buds adorn the garden
Once, there was merriment and colours
Scorching heat deprives the heart of love
Paleness reflects lack of vitality
Lascivious love made the heart a pauper©
Amitav Chowdhury 
And yet so much of the “love” in the world remains like this…
And hearts starve for lack.
Beautiful post!

We do not know the meaning of Love, but have found different definitions for it and try to quantify a feeling. Our heart and mind are not in sync either.

Love gives lavishly with no expectation. It exists, but it’s rare. There is a Koine Greek word “agape” that you might find inspirational. Koine Greek had at least four words for the English word “love”. Agape is most closely defined as a “love feast”; but the word deserves its own study, as it defies real definition. Amitav, when you post these daily with no expectations other than the hope that you improve the lives of others or give them something to think about, THAT is what you are giving.

Tanya, thank you so much for sharing this. You have given me something to ponder on. I will have to definitely look it up. Yes, when I am writing poetry or my articles on philosophy, I just hope to present a different perspective of life, where we all can experience the depth and magnanimity of existence, to make life enriching. Best wishes to you.
