Dilemma of Love and Selfishness

DILEMMA OF LOVE AND SELFISHNESS DR RANJIT DUTTA There is a conflict In evey moment without knowing, There is a conflict In everyone's heart Without thinking. My mother said-- Love is gracious, Love fastens Everyone forever. Poet says- The earth moves on love Three worlds rapt on love, Love is life, Love is death. Father said my mother- Leave those silly thoughts, It's nothing But a cryptic frail. Love is An ellusive shell, Covers improbity softly, A dream and reality Of ephemeral life decorated with affinity. Hit the drum of selfishness See how it turns it's shape, But even today I don't know What's love meant for? I peep inside Down my memory lane and Sitting alone in loneliness, I ask my self What are relationships? My lover ask me- Isn't love an assimilation Of enjoyment and selfishness? I enquired myself What is love? Love is for what? It is an attraction, or a romantic frill Or an emotional weakness Swimming in the river of enjoyment and self-interest? I don't know, May be you too. I don't know Even someone knows it or not! Only I feel All 're swimming In the same river without knowing without speculating.
