ONLY IF LOVE COULD BE MEASURED

Ahh, only if love could be measured! 

He asked ,

“ How much do you love me ?”

I said, “ Only if you could count…

Mine innumerable heartbeats, 

Or keep an account of my breaths …”

Tell me, Is love not holding 

each other in the moment of grief ?

To be gratified when all is well!

Like Autumn breeze 

Caressing unendingly 

Through the trances,

Like the fragrance 

In the zephyr..!

The willows permeating scents 

Rivers flowing perpetually 

Clusters of galaxies 

Chords of the Universe 

Calmness of the night 

Depths of the sea

The greatest treasures ever..!

Love is not illusions 

Or fairy tales

It is an entity 

You reciprocate to ,

Forgive and be resilient .

Love keeps dwelling 

For there’s no yardstick 

Measuring MINE love…!

from ages past, present and forever.

Now tell me….

Can YOU measure 

Mine love for THEE ?
