Where Love Lies

WHERE DOES LOVE LIE? I Where does love lie? Many are clueless, some go paranoid Trying to seek out meaningless solutions And answers in the pages of a book; They consult mediums and spiritualists They even go the extra length seeking answers From the church and from the mosque Yet they are left without answers. They claim to know God Yet they regard their fellow humans as vermin Vermin meant to be trampled under the feet. In their confused state, Love is but an elusive concept far beyond their reach. II The rich also cry They accumulate so much wealth and riches In their brazen destabilized state They seek for happiness They dole out a large chunk of their wealth To the Pastors, Imams and Herbalists Thinking that they can buy love They fail to realize that love lies with them But it lies elsewhere. III God is an epitome of love So the Bible and the Qur'an says. Every religion preaches love Yet love seems far beyond their reach. Many seek love, yet they fail in their search for it. What many fail to realize is that- if God is love, Then we are an embodiment of love So love shouldn’t be beyond our reach Rather it should be with us. IV God is love Love is God Money, riches and evil cannot buy love. Love lies in a cool calm place, A special repository designed by God to welcome LOVE That place is no other place than our HEARTS. Those who seek love are sure to find it For it lies in their hearts Waiting to be harnessed, waiting to be discovered. It is elusive because most persons have failed To open up their hearts to welcome and feel it Open thy hearts to love today and let it love flow unhindered.
