i am love...

i am love,
and i make your heart (to) beat...
i am what brings that smile on your face,
the reason for your tears-that's me too!

i have my roots deep in earth,
and my wings help me leap into the sky,
i am immaculate, in tales and dreams,
but i shatter that self(image), when i meet life!

i am love,
not an object that comes with warranty...
i am love,
and i bring with a hope of perpetuity!

i flourish without reasons,
and blossom on the pillars of faith,
negate as much as you may,
but i thrive unonditionally, at best!

i am not a lost idea-
merely in the pages of books,
my survival is more imminent,
than the blood running through your veins!

i am not supposed, or paid, or under any obligations,
to carry the heap of expectations you readily mount upon my back...
and if i break and fall, you say i failed(??),
and raise question marks on my very existence!!

i am love...
and i have always been where you saw me first...
i am love...
and i am born out of the very heart whose beats i control all your life!

i am love...
and indeed, i am alive!!!

and when it gets dark
and i try the best i can...
it still seems improbable
hoping to find my shadow-
just 'coz it's better
than to be downright alone...

but as i hear u call me...
i realise...
u have been much more than my shadow!!!
and somehow u make me wish to believe
that we aren't mere mortals....
that we could have a wee bit more than a mere lifetime!!!

a cup of coffee,or maybe tea...
and some gosspis of you and me...
ofcourse we wouldn't spare the world at large...
and as we sing those songs out of tune...
rather, we give those songs a brand new tune!!
and how i play the guitar, though i know not abc...
and u'd teach me those strings-inspite not knowing more than me!!!

and how those notebooks were scribbled more down the back than the front...
the criss-crosses and doodles and the stuffs unknown!!!

and i wouldn't fret standing at the edge of a cliff with my eyes closed...
if u were to be guiding my every move!!!!

my shadow??? i wouldn't give it a damn(nor a dime)!!!
if i could have u with me everytime!!!

and how it amazes me that u,of all things in my life,deserves just a day's acknowledgement...
maybe that's the way things are!!!
and maybe even i won't say it everytime....
but having u around....
in my life...
is more than i could ever wish for...
words can't say what u mean...
but life doesn't mean a thing if u ain't in it!
thank u,friend!!
