( 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….
