LOVE



Love is like a company
Without defined hierarchy
No one is a boss
Not even a servant
Neither a security guard
Nor a cook
Love involve two partners

Love is not a school
To be run by a board
Neither it is a church
Attended by every member
Nor a business
Organized by shareholders
Love involve two partners

Love is like a pin
Drawn towards a magnet
Partners held
Closed like shutters
Sticky and aqueous
Just like a glue
Love binds two people

Love is like a clock
Moving very slow
Tomorrow sounds a thousand years
Thousands miles away
Years of laughter
True love never fade

Love require knowledge
Knowing something about everything
Jack of all traders
And a master of none
Love, field of specialization
Love involve only two patners

Love is like a poem
Composed by two poets
Love repeatedly
Accompanied by rhyming words
Assonance and alliteration
Love is poetic in nature


Love is like a pine trees
Roots rooted to the ground
Beyond the world of reasoning
Firm and stable
But take long to mature
Just like a Rome
Not build in a single day
Love and laugh long

Never compare love with wealth
Love is happiness
Peace, quiet and contentment
But not heartless
Double-crossing cheat!
Love has boundaries

I can't imagine love
What is it on earth?
Center of joy?
Love, laugh and live long
