What is Love?

By Debasis Patro

Love is a game of chess

Between two people where sometimes it is much difficult to guess

Love is a game of chess

Where one wins and another loses

One dances in the drizzle in a desert

The other rejoices the sunshine in the rains of Mausynram

One finds peace from the chaos within

The other escape from his monotonous life

Like a nightingale in the dreary desert summer

They fill each other with melody

Little things may shake them up

But their trust glues them together

Love is a game of chess between two people

And the similarities end here

A perfect game is often drawn

Where none loses and both can frown upon

Both win and keep winning on

One gains choas other calmness

A bit of mischief in a life of disdain

A post to hold on to in the dusty winds of the rain

In the end love never ends

It only grows and strengthens the bends
