Conundrum

CONUNDRUM

When I am that
What I am searching about
As vigorously as one looks
For one’s lover-pince
It becomes doubly tedious
To come across myself
From all the crusts
Lying within

A tinge of smile hanging on lips
Like relaxing dew drops 
On gentle rose petals,
Sweetness dissolved in honey
As salinity remains in sea,
Serenity of lush green forest,
Calming allay under the soothing shadow
Like tranquility of restful
Crest of moon in lagoon,
Pinching of prickly thorns
As self gives a miss 
Like one finds one’s embrace
Empty on coming out of trance

I must be seemingly
Talking of dreams
But these are ingredients
What do compose love, and
That is what I am
If I could very honestly
Search me out!
