Take me to Where Love Learns No More

I felt in love when the fog lifted And showed me the grandeur of my chosen one I felt in love when dusk gave way to dawn And brought to me dew from the sweetness of my chosen I felt in love Staring out at the raging ocean Hearing the waves thunder as they keep trying to bring each other down I felt in love Yet I also felt that love needed to be learnt For it came not with a spirit of freedom Soaring high into the skies with the might of eagles But it was enclosed in a set of structure Which had with it, societal norms attached to it Love, thus, became a lesson that I needed to master So as to be applauded in the society as being good at it For I could not be allowed to be myself And say that love has touched me and I basked in its glow Love, as a lesson, required perfection on all sides Without which, I would remain deprived of it And be deemed, forever, as an empty shell Which would not echo of those same raging waves That made me feel in love while I stood, mesmerized, watching them Grabbing hold of my chosen's hands, I bid him To take me somewhere, Where love needs no mastery of any sort So that the sight of sunsets would always be melting And the knock of dawn would always be laden with a smile!
