“Love serves a greater purpose than itself and loss challenges the heart so deeply. Grief is a heavy burden to carry. Know I, and others like me, are there, behind the veil of your fears. Shrouded behind a mist, you call disappointment. Concealed in the grooves created by your tears
you are not lost. You have just forgotten. The door to your memories is not in the past, but in completely new experiences which haven't been hijacked by previous thoughts and feelings.”
Source: The Soulmatcher

“Love, Sex & Drugs (The Sonnet)
Stoneage immorality
was bedlock out of wedlock,
civilized immorality
is bedlock out of lovelock.
Who you sleep with is your business,
but to sleep without love isn't gallantry.
It may be accepted as adolescent folly,
part of growing up is to surpass frivolity.
Mindless sex and drugs are for the animals,
humans have no business with such nonsense.
It's one thing to indulge once in a while,
another to take it as life's daring object.
Opposite of puritanism isn't perversion,
any animal knows how to fill a hole.
Intimacy doesn't mean baring your body,
intimacy means baring your soul.”

“Love, she and me!
She stood there waiting,
And being an admirer of hers I thought she was waiting for me,
She brushed her hair sideways,
And like others I thought she was doing it for me,
She walked with grace and well measured steps,
And I thought she was walking towards me,
She smiled and her shimmering lips parted slowly,
And I thought they parted and shimmered to kiss me,
She knelt a bit and looked at the ground,
And I felt she was looking at my shadow and then at me,
She spoke of some wonderful experiences she had,
And I thought they were all due to me,
She raised her eyes to stare at the midday Sun,
And I felt in its gleaming rays she was discovering me,
She called someone haply,
And I wished if it were me, just me,
She traveled to some favourite destination,
And I wished if it were me,
She confessed her heart gives rise to endless desires,
And I so deeply wished, all her desires led to me, just me,
She looked at the starry night and and closed her eyes to dream,
How I wished all her dreams were about me,
In the morning she woke up with fresh smile,
And I hoped the smile always flashes only when she thinks of me,
Then she ventured into the affairs of the day,
And I wished her every step brought her closer to me,
She often said her prayers and thought about God,
And how I wished that her God thought of me,
She was carrying a bouquet of roses yesterday,
And I wondered for whom could it be? And wished it were for me,
Then she walked away holding just one rose in her hand,
And I hoped she dropped it in front of me,
It is afternoon and she is walking towards me,
Maybe it is just my imagination because I feel her true joy lies in being with me,
But who cares whether it is my imagination or something I so deeply wish for me,
That I want to love her, and spend the days thinking that she only loves me,
She has walked by so many times,
But she has never walked towards me,
It is a dilemma alike the day and the night, where one would never know whether the day seeks night or the night seeks the day,
So whenever she walks past me, I convince my heart she was walking towards me,
A decade has passed and her mere glimpse still gladdens me,
But today she walked up to me and said, “do you like me or you love me?”
I stood there speechless, not that my feelings have turned numb, but my words were failing me,
But somehow I managed to say, “I love you more than me!”

“Love, she realized, could sometimes come fast, but it didn’t make it any less real. Love could make you hear the cicada buzzing and the breeze singing through the trees and decide it was the most beautiful of symphonies. The sharp smell of pine on the fresh and just cool enough air were the best perfumes in the world.”
