Practical Love

By Ujjwal Dutta

Very well it I know

that you may leave me tomorrow.

You know it very well,

when our love has started to swell,

I may flit to another fragrant flower,

if appears on my way a more favourable hour

of sucking honey of another variety

enjoying life and love to its entirety.

Yet, we loved each other

and bore the burdens of life together.

Little moments of intensely condensed love

seemed to be sent from the above.

After coming so far I’ve got the gist−

verity and falsity must co-exist.
