The pirates of love

 

Everyone thinks

love is for him or her,

But it is not,

It isn’t for everyone,

To most of us,

its fake, pirated copy would fit,--

a poor quality imitation;

just enough to give us

a false sense of comfort and security.

 

Real love is intense,

It’s a storm,

I don’t think most of us

can bear its naked authenticity,

It burns, singes, hurts, peels,

robs us of the fake sense of comfort,

plunders hypocrisies,

strips us naked to face our frailties,

It has very sharp edges

in its original version,

No wonder

the majority buys the fake copy,

Just like essence of honey

mixed in a drum of plain sugar.
