For the Cause of Love

Love seems to take our meaning To be a mere vision A vision of madness A moment of delirium Experienced maybe, After a fall in the pond of life's Miseries! Love remains obtuse to our cause Caring not that the Gods have spoken Wanting merely to see us love each other Here, in this useless world Before being allowed back there! This cause I do consecrate After all, it remains the essence of My soulful awakening, The main reason why I have come To accept the way life runs here In a seemingly nonsensical World! Why, for its cause, I do accept to remain an indigent poet One living in a garden of flowers Being herself, the most delicate of them all, The most fragrant, The dreamiest, The most eccentric, The one to live with her head in the clouds While she walks on the tortuous paths of life! Pray, I wonder then, who is the most Egregious of us both? Is it me, with my mystical visions Or is it he, with his negativity? I hope the skies let go of their superiority Over us both, I hope they do mediate the situation To suit their will! Else, Someday, when the heavens will appear In front of us, I shall have to refuse their comfort As, If we failed to prove to ourselves That we can love each other Here, in a fallen world, Then, We hold no future at all In eternity!
