A POEM: HOW (Beauty and the Beast)…

A Poem…
HOW (Beauty and the Beast)…

How does a moment live forever?
How does a happy story suddenly crash?
How does the aged now walk like a baby?
How did that aroma disappear into an odour?
Is this breath still love?

How does a drop of love erode our affection?
How does a common speech breed trust?
How does time grow us this old and deep in love?
How did we meet?
Is it that snap that started it all?

How do we tangle to such odd rhythm?
How do we stay safe inside a thorny heart?
How do we see radiance in a dusty mirror?
How do we kiss in this raging storm?
Is love this mindless?

How do we compel love?
How do we see love through blurred vision?
How does a lover’s lie taste so truthful?
How does a lover’s curse seem such grace?
Is it because love possesses the …?

How do we tease one in love?
How do we deny that pledge of love?
How do we regret the same love?
How do we plunge into the wrong holes?
Is it because we doubt the causes of love?

How do we recall our past integrity but repulse peace?
How do we believe an admirer’s ship yet decline to cruise?
How do we love again but refuse to trust ?
How do we enjoy a lover’s tale without any applaud?
Is it because love often breaks us?

How do we learn the truth belatedly?
How do we linger in shadows and snub a lover’s light?
How do we term a former lover as threat and the future, a war?
How does a beast have it all and beauty lives at its mercy?
Is it because love humbles at mistakes?

How do we repudiate to gaze a lover abide in pain?
How do we endure hell meant for a lover?
How do we grow strong when our lover is feeble?
How do we calm a lover’s wrath?
Is it because love is also meant to heal?

In the midst of a battle –
How does a lover’s touch becomes our strength?
How does seeing a lover’s blood make us feel dead?
How does a lover’s cry make us lay our lives?
How does a lover’s smile make us win the war?
Is it that love always triumphs?

Forever can spare a minute;
A candle loses nothing lighting another;
Love is endless in the stretch of roads;
But it’s simple if lovers vow to hold hands;
 And walk towards love, unconditionally.

How does love recuperate love, to love forever?
Is it that love has no reason to abscond?

Is it because LOVE IS THAT GREATEST THING…?
