LOVE: in the hearts of optimists!

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

LOVE: in the mind of pessimists!

"Many more say LOVE is Life but some define it as....."

is the part of my comment on some blogger friend's post that has led me to this post of mine!

But.......

________________________________

LOVE: in the mind of pessimists!

LOVE with its influence across the universe is too hard to portray in some limited words, since it is too mysterious! The explorer may fall prey to it and get lost in a mirage.

People holding different views and ideologies on it you may come across, across the globe.

Some are aggressive, but some so placid, you may realize.

Some are pessimistic whereas some so optimistic at the same time.

I can’t make any claim, for I have not made any research, but just searched.

I have heard some defining LOVE in some way, in an acronymic style.

And, what exactly I have done here is that I have labeled it with the definition in the mind of pessimists and also made an attempt to explain why so – it means I have just borrowed the mind of those people and tried to justify why LOVE appears as such an acronym.

L stands for Land of Sorrows.

“Whaaat!!!”

 “Yes!”

‘Once you are in love, you need to compromise and befriend SORROWS.

You will have to get used to sleepless nights tossing yourself on the bed of THORNS.’

O refers to Ocean of tears.

“How come???”

“Well, I am not going to justify how it happens. I am only conveying it to you.”

Why it is so might be defined this way –

‘If you are in love, you must miss the fellow you love,.. ALWAYS!

And, any miniature misunderstanding might pierce your soft heart.

And, any hasty decision in the outburst of emotions may sink you down in TEARS.’

V indicates Valley of Death.

“No, never!!!”

“OK, OK! It is just what I heard! I have no experience, dear, ha-ha-ha!” J

Yeah, what I was adding is –  

‘Once you enter the VALLEY OF LOVE, it would be too difficult to find the way out.

Everything else may look petty to you, since oblivious you will go.

You might appear living a dead life because you are already in the VALLEY OF DEATH.’

E means End of Life.

“Oh, Gosh!!”

“Do relax, please! Simply a thought it is! And, nothing more!!”

‘As a local maxim, LOVE IS BLIND.

Lovers do have eyes; they can look at things around them.

But, they can’t see what they normally have to.

They do have mind to think. But they can’t think about the past and the future.

Lovers may defy any conditions and circumstances, social do’s and don’ts and make lots of enemies around them.

The history has witnessed the ultimate exits of different warriors, the true lovers.

They embraced the death with no remorse. That is the END OF LIFE!’

Well, well, well, I don’t know how you would rate the expression.

Nothing serious ON MY PART!

Just an acronym, and the outflow of my imaginative explanation.

Mind you, before any action just listen to your HEART!

what my heartfelt wish for you all is--  

Live a lovable life with the undying great LOVE!

Mom, you are the GREATEST!

The effort I have made here for you to have a kind look at is something DEDICATED TO MOTHERS. And, it is the extension of my comment line "Mom, you are my first multiple recognitions" in the comment that I have lately made on a blogger friend's post on Mother's Day, the 8th of May, the second Sunday of May, which more and more people celebrate across the globe, I hope.        

Mom, you are my first multiple recognitions!

You are my first care taker!

No sooner had I come to the world, than

You cuddled me to your chest and

showered me with the warmth of selfless love.

You felt hungry when it was empty, my small tummy.

You filled it by breastfeeding and satisfied your hunger.

What an overwhelming wonder!

Mom, you are my first multiple recognitions!

You are my first trainer!

My fingers were wild, ready to poke anyone in the nose and eyes.

You tamed them to hold food and toys.

My incisors were terrible, curious to bite anything and anyone.

Your loving smacks on my mouth brought them to discipline.

I didn’t know what my feet were for.

You made me stand on them and toddle ahead.

You trained me how to cover myself.

Brushing, taking a bath to toilet training!

Really, mom, you are my first multiple recognitions!

You are my first teacher!

You taught my lips to round and the tongue to dance.

Mom, the first word I uttered was nothing but 'Ma-Ma'.

That fetched you the heavenly mirth and me your big kiss in return.

Finding my babbling so pleasant to ear,

 you slowly but surely switched me to holophrasic run. 

Hence, you led me to the world of language, human-specific.

Each word you taught me was enticing and unique.

Pencil would tease me slipping out of fingers.

And, I would strangle it holding it tightly in anger.

Then, you taught my fingers to devotedly befriend the pencil.

And, you guided me

how to put tickling sounds into twisted signs on the paper.

That’s why I can say

 Mom, you are my first multiple recognitions!

You are my first motivator!

On the first day at my school

I cried my eyes out fearing to miss you.       

Smilingly you kissed all my tears and fear away.

And, then, you persuaded me with chocolates to share

and make friendship there.

Days rolled ahead one after another.

And, my learning cruised ahead further and further.

Sometimes I pretended a tummy-ache just to avoid school days.

You took me to the book fair and bought me several colorful story books.

They revealed stories on animals, insects, flowers and fairy.

You read them to me and got me to read them to you.

Bewitched, I made several efforts without feeling weary.

Frequently I tried to tip-toe quietly out for games

dumping the homework in the corner.

Your stern looks made me shrug and feel serious.

And, I became wise and realized HOMEWORK FIRST!

Yes, Mom, you are, of course, my first multiple recognitions!

You are my first leader-cum-inspirer!

You always said

 I was good and now I needed to be great.

You could feel proud of me

only when the world would salute me with high respect.

Inquisitively I questioned you how to be so.

Patting my shoulder and holding close, you suggested I excel in studies

with a promise of different toys.

Mom, you are not great to me, but the greatest!

No-one other than you has so far understood me the best!

No doubt, there is no doubt,

Mom, you are my first multiple recognitions!

Mom, you are many more to me!

Whenever I recall those days, I feel my edgeless emotions.

Mom, it is you, not even God, who are my creator.

I will remain deeply indebted to you for this beautiful life

until I am set on the eternal rest.

O my dear Mom, just a big smile, please!

Mom, you are the greatest, my first multiple recognitions!!!
