We do not know what love is,
\nBut feel its presence unmistakably when it possesses us,
\nIs it just a state of mind or architecture of a relationship?<\/p>\n
In the long journey of life
\nMan goes through many things,
\nBut there is always an \u201cI\u2019 accompanying him,
\nIt is the absence of this \u201cI\u201d which lays down the ground for love,
\nWhen we forsake our ego we open doors for higher experiences,
\nLove is the infinite caring for another without expecting any reward –
\nIt is the ultimate renunciation of self.<\/p>\n
It is a miracle of nature that a woman and a man,
\nWho are so different, fall in love,
\nA woman is an extension of earth,
\nWhile man is a ray of sun roaming aimlessly,
\nIn love a woman does not give herself to a man,
\nBut she absorbs him into herself,
\nWhile a man in love gives himself to a woman.<\/p>\n
Love is not an invention of culture,
\nBut a sublime state of mind created by nature,
\nIt is a delicate but a ravishingly beautiful flower,
\nThat needs the right conditions for it to grow and blossom fully.<\/p>\n
Love is a state of unbounded bliss,
\nWhere feelings, thoughts, and ideas coalesce,
\nTo find beauty and purpose in existence.<\/p>\n
Love unites on earth two resplendent stars in the firmament,
\nAs God wants their union to fulfill His divine design.<\/p>\n
