Loveless Life

Comfort, luxury and accumulated wealth is nothing
Promise of beauty to the garden is spring in the offing

Separated from soul a body is of no avail
                            Without love life is not worth living

Hello Mohammad, Two profound statements here in this beautiful and well written Quatrain. Alas, it is true, without love it is indeed a sad and lonely journey. Thank you for reading me and leaving such nice messages. As Always, Shar

What you say is so true; without love life is so empty and meaningless. Such a lovely verse to share! :)

To not feel love is to not exist...Love is the fuel of the universe. Wonderful thots, poet. Wonderful.

This is magnificent uncle Yamin. I can only dream of writing at this level.

I appreciate your modesty, Husain. The fact is that you are highly skilled. Of course you can write like me -nay better than me. What can make a difference is the advantage of age and experience. At your age you are not expected to experience many things that a philosopher poet has experienced at the age of 73. This is what makes the difference. Cheer up.

Great insight, Mohammad..and wisdom here. Love can be elusive when we're too busy searching for it; maybe we should instead be giving it, I think. Have a great weekend. Love, annalise

Thanks for your brilliant comments, Annalise. How right you are when you say, "Love can be elusive when we are ....searching for it; may be we should instead be giving it". The fact is you can't get love by pursuing it. Love is only given. You can take it only when given. Best wishes. -Mohammad
