TO BE IN LOVE

TO BE IN LOVE


What it is to be in love,
Who can know better than me?
Love is hope and love is pain,
Love is fate and destiny.

Till I knew not what is love,
Life was a rudderless ship;
Drifting in waters unknown,
Searching for real friendship.

What it is to be in love,
I learnt after I met you;
How can I ever forget
The very first rendezvous?

In true love we are but one,
One heart, one soul, bodies two;
We shed separate existence,
I am not I, you not you.

What it is to be in love,
Love is pleasure eternal;
But, beware, too, love is
Real torture, infernal.

Above all, love, truly, is,
Spiritual attainment;
It is the ultimate find,
Love is pure contentment.
