Love, 
In a society that has always seen love as reckless and impulsive 
I have tasted a different dish, 
a side that is usually not explored
With sweet touches and sweeter words 
Cautious of the effect they have, 
With distance so less and yet so more 
Miles have to be yet travelled on this road 
With gestures that speak more than one can 
Beating heart is all I can hear 
And his voice 
With smooth edges of smiles he cannot hide 
And a smirk tracing the tease in the comment 
Of eyes that touch the deepest parts of me 
Hidden not by clothes but by skin 
Of the warmth that spreads within 
I have glazed at the bump in his check 
With the desire to see his face dipped in smile before pleasure
The love that is careful beyond measure 
Because it knows it is the stick of support to stand 
And the curves of lives at each end point 
A surprise wrapped with faith in all 
That has to the ability 
To make someone happy 
To make someone sad
I have seen love being handled
Like a child in the womb of mother 
A bubble made for comfort and growth 
Without pain and grief 
And it a pleasant way of seeing it
which is criticized so much for the rush it gives. 
Love like that warm comfortable home
carrying a tried sad soul.
