Valetine'23

By Ashitosh Ashok Mengde

Let me drink the potion of love.

Let me see what it is there beyond human life that binds two souls.

I know no bounds, I know no string that will ever hold me from loving you.

I drink the potion and you are my potion.

There is purity in this love and let me see through the heart of that soul that binds me to human sublime.

Hold on to this love while it is yours. Appreciate the care it gives to you.

For there is no soul in the world that will ever bind you.

Drink my love and be the love that you lured.

I know no bounds of human life.

It's the relation of soul to soul that lived on this planet.

All that I care is potion of unlimited kindness.

Pleasure is to have the heart in heart and it knows nothing.

Let me dive dip into the potion of love.

Let me be the care that you require.

I had a bad day of not loving you,

I had a bad day of not talking to you.

I have so much to say, but I'm speechless.

I have so much to give, but you are receiving less.

I have sent my love, and I have to see if my love is enough or not.

Will ever be this endless misery stop?

Will I ever be able to see you the way I see you?

Will ever this will stop?

I don't want to die anymore,

I want to live in the love of two souls that I drank in the ocean of heart.

Like passing train from a window, you passes infront of my eyes.

I never able to touch you, but you are always there in front of my eyes.

You never change, you passes every passing minute, in front of my eyes.

With the same shape, same size, same color you are always in front of my eyes.

Is that an illusion or is it a image that you copied in front of my eyes.

For I can never touch, but I want to see that if you have the same spark of love that I carry in my heart.

Please stop once in front of my eyes and let me see you till I drink the potion of love.

I loved you since the day I met you.

The love never stopped.

The heart had always twitched,

The heart has always feared.

Fear is the greatest destroyer of love.

Everytime I take a step to get closer to you.

Fear adds two steps back.

I fear that if am I ever going to be close or am I going away.

Is that the hand slipping from my hand or is that love that slipping from my soul?

I don't want to loose that touch.

We are the two souls in one heart.

And one understands the love and one, I don't know;

Maybe and I really want to see what it is?

I rub my heart, I give a twitch of excitement.

I feel that this is not just the heart.

It's the love that gives itching.

My mind is yours, my heart is yours.

Breath is yours.

It's you who have to keep this breath breathing.

Please be here with me always and I'll never feel lonely.

I don't need your hand, I need that love.

I need that feeling which make me breathe the sublime energy of life.

I need not your support, I need your endless love only to make me feel alive once again.

I'll never hold you, I'll never show you.

You are the free bird.

But I want you to look,

That someone in the world cares for you.

It's not the love that dangles me.

It's life to life energy that make me feel alive.

Beyond my life of misery, you are the one that is the joy of my life energy.

I the one who cares for your affection.

I doubt a lot of times that Should I stay or should I go on and live my life?

Nothing really stays in life, but I want your love to stay in me and I'll go and live my life.

My life will never stop, my heart will never stop. It's your love that will keep the beat.

I close my eyes, I see you.

I bear this truth that you are only in my imagination.

And I open my eyes, to see the bright world.

To see the truth that it's your shadow that is with me.

I keep open my eyes, I keep you in my heart.

And I walk the world,

I walk the world in expectation that someday your shadow will be mine with pure mass and blood.

That one day I'll dream with wide eyes open

That it's you in front of me.

I touch you, rub your cheek to make sure that it is you.

It is you finally came to meet me.

To feel my heart with the endless love.

Just like the dandelions, you are dandling in my heart.

You are my flower garden and every flower in it is mine.

I water this garden, I care for every flower and believe this flower is mine.

It's you who have to understand that I'm the giver of love and you are receiver of endless energy.

It's our love that makes this flower garden blossom.

Don't let that breath go away, for I the one who blows air in your life.

For I the one who makes you respire, breath that air and let our flower garden bloom in daylight.

We don't talk about what we fear,

What's that between us,

That we are attached, but we are still apart.

What are those barriers that we hold on?

I want to look beyond that bar,

I want to see what it feels like to break free.

I want to see how it feels when I hold your hand.

Let open your heart,

It's my love that longs for your love.

For one day, I want to feel your love.

For one day, you want to feel mine.

Then what are those barriers!

And I want that one day to be of millions of lifetime.

I give hints, it's you who have to take the hint.

I say soundless words, it's you who have to pour sounds to them.

I care, it's you who have to know what an innocent heart has to say.

I do give time, it's you who have to understand that you do matter in my life.

If I'm giving time, then something is going on in my mind.

If I'm living sleepless nights, then it's clear that something is wrong with me.

World will understand, but it's you who will take forever to understand.

It's not the world that kills the love,

It's us who choke love to death.

Drink that potion and let me drink the poison. I'll get the enlightenment. You'll get what you deserve.

Life is what we think it is. We'll never step into others persona.

Let be the cure of this love.

Let spread the life of fullness, oneness and completeness.

That you are incomplete without me and

I am miserable without you.

Sorrow is I can't tell what I feel,

Foolishness is you can't understand what I feel.

They say love is pleasure of two hearts.

I say love is the pain if not received back.

Sometimes life is sleepless night passed in love and

Madness is that you doesn't even know someone is longing for you.

This heart will live forever in love and will die forever in love.

Let's end this endless suffering.

Let's drink that potion of love and

Let's be one for one moment.

Don't be deaf to not to hear what I doesn't say.

Understand the meaning of my meaningless actions.

It's not a riddle to solve,

It's a hint that I care about something

And that something is you.

I had a sleepless night. I never understood what could that be. I poured my mind with words of misery.

"I got a mind that doubt. I got a mind that imagines things that never existed."

Its the MIND that pours the LOVE into existence. And it's the LOVE that spills over MIND to sleepless nights.

It's not my poetry that is unclear.

It's your ears that don't hear things that I don't say.

Be clever enough to understand meaning of my meaningless actions.

I'm the giver of hint and you're the receiving decoder of the CARE that I care.

Don't be fool enough to not to attend the ATTENTION that I give.

Read those words that once were mine and now are yours.
