Love Song
T. A. Ramesh
Tell not the story but sing love songs
For mellowing the minds and hearts of men
Before they become antisocial elements
To plunge headlong in the destruction of all!
Love blossoms between two hearts,
A great wonder indeed among humans!
Love denies nothing to the loved ones,
A rich power that bothers about nothing!
Mother, lover and friend are of the same kind
In love, they out do all beyond their means!
Such is the power of love in the world
That life of love makes life divine here!
Sky pours rain overland high or low
Land grows grains for all to feed
Trees give everything even when hacked
Nature repeats its performance forever.
This is the song of love that goes on endlessly
In Nature for everyone to see, learn and follow!
When this is so, why hate, fight and demolish
Nature and humans, beautiful, lovely and sweet?
Love is Rare
Longings for love keep love spirit alive forever
And the flame of love burns bright in the heart!
Valentine’s Day may come and go with pageant
But love of man and woman goes on for ever.
The out going concern, love is the all powerful God
Love is the powerful force acts against fear or anger
And is always for joy and peace in the human world
As it is the centre of love in the whole Universe!
Beach, park, hotels, farm resort and hill stations are
Where lovers meet, exchange love and enjoy love
Valentine’s Day only celebrated as lover’s day each year
But Taj Mahal remains as a Symbol of Love forever!
For many, the feeling of love is rare in the material world
Literary talent to say true love story is rarer in this world
Also, the act of love is rarest in the economic world today
So, Taj or Valentine alone hints at love to live life by love.
Versions of Love
T.A. Ramesh
Boundless love goes beyond all the barriers of the world
Intuitionally love consciousness sees truth consciousness
The inward eye of love sees truth better than bright eyes
And the faith of love never fails anyone in the world life!
At first sight or chat itself love begins between hearts
Love, which is emotion, passion, is lasting human feeling
Love, which is delicate, dangerous, is a delightful experience
Love, which is blind, divine, is a long painful pleasure!
Like waning Moon, separated lovers pine for each other
Like waxing Moon, when entwined together love rejuvenates
Waxing or waning, hide and seek life lovers may live long
But food of love, music flourishes love in the mean time!
Without seeing the Moon how can lily flower bloom?
Without seeing the Sun how can sunflower bloom bright?
Waxing and waning Moon always revolves round the Earth
Face to face seeing, full Moon shines bright before the Earth!
Circumstance separates lovers but their song keeps love alive
And there will be songs to sing till they meet somewhere again!
Till then the past love days linger on in the minds of lovers; and
The memory of love days pulls on the days till they unite again!
Love for life, art and spirit man makes endeavours for fulfilment
Love is devotion, dedicated desire and concentrated contemplation
Mystical union of dance and music in love generates divine bliss
Art and soul mingled in Nature make love life divine in the world!
