A KIND OF SELF-LOVE

self-love3

( Sometimes, I guess, the love that we hold in our heart for ourselves encompasses all boundaries. It is really difficult to truly love someone unless we love ourselves completely. A self-love that teaches us to trust and to hope, of affection and care; teaches us all about joys and sorrows, about life and death and finally guides us to the final journey keeping the soul as our care-taker so that all that we know in end is a calm and tranquil peace! )

Do we need someone to love us so?

And share with us many a woe

Or we ourselves are the best solution?

Or a kind of retribution?


Our ears are our own

& will listen to everything

Echos of happiness

& sorrow they’ll bring


Our eyes will watch,

the life in stages

A beauty of  love,

that continues through ages


Our nose will smell,

the lover’s fragrance

Of  a certain time-

of lost remembrance


Our lips speak of a voice,

of better commitment

And a smile rests on them,

of some accomplishment


Our hands reach out,

to all the pain

Not letting the sacrifices,

to go in vain


Our feet tread,

new destinations

For a moment of solitude,

in long vacations


Our skin keeps feeling,

a mysterious touch

A deep affection,

without any boundaries as such


And lastly, a heart each of us does hold

That is filled with memories so ancient & old

That it continues to beat till the very end

And with the universe does it blend


Finally, we grieve and are left all alone,

To begin a journey of the unknown

What remains with us-

is this immortal soul

That even in incompleteness;

makes the life so whole….
