Lies love to betray love as love lies in a disheveled manner
For there is no antidote for those lies, but an unwilling ailment grips the heart
Surrounded by the nemesis, there’s no way love can wake up soon
Faithless prayers won’t urge the universe to intervene to settle the ultimate treachery

So beautiful. I agree.. It is so difficult to find love, and when they do, I have no idea why can’t they celebrate that love? Why do they betray?
I have lived so many decades, and I still have no answer to that.
Beautifully written Amitav

We need love within to share abundantly; not with expectations, but generous love. It is the world around that conspires and distracts the heart and it strays away from love.
I am glad you liked this write.

I don’t know about world..
What exactly is world, whom do we choose to be our world? We can choose the entire universe to be our world or love to be our world.
Love is a choice, chosen from the heart accepted by the brain. Once love is chosen, it becomes the world. Love can be both generous and selfish, but it is still love. Only a few can feel its glory.
Then what world is this which pulls the heart from love? And what kind of love is this Amitav which cannot make the heart as its world?

Well said, Shalini. Love essentially is a feeling of the soul, from a spiritual realm to a worldly one. It is meant to be felt and embraced without doubt. But as we internalize the external definitions of love, it starts changing. I guess the world wants to rush into love; fast-paced, greedy world hurries love and changes its course. Only those who can understand this, and choose to be unaffected can feel its glory. Getting influenced by definitions and perspectives of love, as this world has envisioned is somewhat distorted, So, one has to seek within each other.

I am not such a big thinker, Amitav. I know this, when I found love, I held it close, to me it was, it still is, the most precious gift universe can ever give. But then when love wanted to leave, I fought to keep it, but it can’t be forced so I opened my palms and my heart, and let it go.
I am left with numbness in heart and soul, but such is life and such is the equation of love.

Matters of the heart and soul are beyond any philosophical thoughts, We can only interpret.
I don’t know what the universe conspires to change the beautiful equation between two souls that they drift away. It is difficult, but only the one who loves deeply can be so generous too. In your heart you have the beautiful world and you are still the same loving person.

THE ENDING LINES
Some days, some wicked thoughts
Revenge, hurt, pain have all left me bereft
Some days, some wicked thoughts
Smile on the lips and tears in my eyes is all I have left

Don’t hold on to your tears
Allow them to cleanse you heart
From pain you will be healed, they speak to you now
About what was and will be, listen carefully
You are being lead towards a new path
Keep you feelings close to your heart
Love within will transform love around
… few lines for you

I hold not to tears
They just keep falling
The pain within has the past in its echo
I have seen it once, all I am seeing
The path is the same, all through hollow
I travelled it, led by the heart
I feared not, just followed the beat
Till I stood still and came to know
The path which is new is actually old
The feelings are all destroyed with bold
Love within should keep us bound
Love within gets crushed by the love around
Just me

Someone will whisper, listen carefully
Tears will flow, but change its course
Universe has a plan to echo a new mantra
From nothingness is birthed life
Bold will fade to a subtle shade of assurance
Then the spirit will colour it with new and valiant
New spring will urge the hibernating feelings to awake

The feelings awaken, the feelings die
It has been the mantra of my life.
From nothingness, I birthed color
It took everything and then something more
When my soul broke, the child died
I breathed life with the hope of a dawn
Love was a future of the broken spirit
New and valiant lived and died
The colors began the colors faded
Bold became something weak and jaded
The spirit is trying but how much more
The pain in the beginning is the pain of end
Life is not at start but finish line near
I tell myself it matters not
I tell myself it is just a thought
But what do I tell the heart
Which just wants to feel true love before it stops
I have seen many springs,
I have danced with joy
I have seen many winters
Bleak, pretending to be coy
The truth is probably my spirit lied
Looking for something which is not meant to be
I have lived and I have loved
Maybe dear Amitav, that is all I should have
Memories of love, memories of being loved….

Shalini, yes memories will live and cherished moments will engage the heart. Life is continuous, spirit eternal, Weathering the weather- some brilliant and vibrant, some harsh
The Spirit may have spoken with not the intention to lie
But to console the crying heart
Having loved and being loved will be in clonfuence
The course of life will nurture the soul and heart

The course of life will nurture till the life courses
What happens when it all ends
The moment when I can feel it slipping
What will I tell the the last heart beating
It is nice to have hope
It is nice to have faith
But what do you do
When you have both,
BUT NO TIME??

It will be beginning of time itself
Flames may flicker, but give light, feeble, but the soul knows of eternal light
Aglow with passion for life
Faith resides in the essence of birth and life
In between, swim the chasm
To new shores and dreams
Time of the universe, new awakening
