Hello Everybody !
Let me first wish you all PEACE, PLEASURE & PROSPERITY on the occasion of our great festival DASHAIN, which is well known in India as DASHAHARA or Durga Puja.
Well, dear friends, I got back after a long gap, didn't I? So sorry for having to keep you waiting so long!! I hope you have not taken it otherwise and will love this post as much as you did the previous ones. Although I had made up my mind to compose something under the title just after posting the last one, yet I didn't have enough time as well as creative thought about it. Perhaps, it happened so because of being too busy. Once I had some free time to have a look at one of the posts by Lynne Patterson, one of you, one of my dear friends. It reminded me of what more I wanted to compose regarding love, and inspired and encouraged me to accomplish this post as soon as possible. I dropped two comments there.
Perhaps, that's the first time I have ever dropped two comments on the same post and they have secured space just one after another consecutively. And, it is, of course, the first time I have declared the post title - it is ONE SINGLE ROSE by Lynne on the blog Menagerie; The first comment of mine "So cute the poem is; Just as the rose is!" energized me and the second comment "A poem on ROSE that LOVE leads! So creative, great ideas it feeds!" led me to the accomplishment of the post. So, let me speak my heart out "I dedicate the post to my dear thoughtfully creative friend Lynne Patterson with good wishes for her healthy, happy and hilarious life with her great family on the occasion of our great festival DASHAIN, which is going on now".
LOVE: in the hearts of optimists!
“Excuse me, what do you mean by love?”
‘Just in a
single simple sentence – LOVE is a mystery! Do you believe it? Well, people are
free to pick up or make a sense of it of their own choice. Of course, they are
free; we are free, aren't we? It is often heard that the people who are deep in
love hold the PACIFIC of love within their hearts.’
“Doesn’t it all sound nonsense?”
‘No, it makes a
clear sense!
Yes, it does.
Look, unless
and until you have a big heart with love overflowing, how can you be said to
have surplus love for someone special you love and how would you be called a
lover? And, how come you are said to be deep in love?
It means when
there is love in you, I mean “in your heart”, you are in love.
That’s why
LOVE, as someone has defined, is a great MYSTERY.’
“OK! Shall we come up with some idea on it? Shall we declare love
has no definition, since it is a mystery?”
‘Yes, it has
not any particular definition, yet we could be hopeful for its countless
definitions offered by many more lovers with the passage of time.
Love in the
eyes of lovers obviously differs from love in the mind of pessimists.
And, now love
in the hearts of optimists may have its own charm!
Just an acronymic
attempt to serve!
Would you like
to have a taste?
If YES, do go
ahead, please!’
L advocates
for LIGHT OF HOPE and it’s high time it ROSE!
So, those preparing
to fall in love prefer to exchange a RED ROSE.
Your heart kindles the lamp of HOPE without letting your
mind know.
Longing seeks its way to belonging, and as a NILE, you have
nothing to do but flow.
The thoughtful mind may cautiously scan the daring heart in
a great wonder.
Cos it has been tricked into a no-way-out maze just to
wander and wander.
O justifies
ORDEAL OF PATIENCE!
Countless challenges mushrooming around, you may come
across.
True love is defiant and all set to glide ahead overcoming
any nuisance.
Cos lovers have learnt nicely the ordeal may lay the SAHARA
for them to cross.
V leads to VICTORY OVER
VANITY!
True lovers made for each other outgrow superiority showering
LOVE to infinity.
The cherished gratitude and devotion are valued invaluable.
The holy tie grows unbreakable and the sacrifice of
self-interests is incredible.
You may feel a sapling growing out of your soft heart - a
feeling of equity.
Yes, that’s what LOVE is praised high and loved for forever
- its real beauty.
E indicates EMERGENCE TO
ETENITY.
Genuine love is to grow up spiritually and be much more
platonic.
Body is to mix into soil one day, but the immortal love is
always sung for its fidelity.
Many may define LOVE in many a way, yet the heart-soothing
one is always unique.
"A
keepsake offered to dear friend Lynne, perhaps an outcome of my listening and
feeling the minds and hearts of the people I have found talking around about
their lives and experiences bridged by love." ~Suresh Shrestha
