When you are floating in love,
O my dearest dove,
You get another illusion to live
that you are here to give
a chance to someone to live,
But that's a polished, pious mask
to accomplish a humane task:
To cover the need to take
something moral from the fake,--
The pool of desires, needs and fears,
A smile offered to hide one's own pain and tears.
O my dearest dove,
You get another illusion to live
that you are here to give
a chance to someone to live,
But that's a polished, pious mask
to accomplish a humane task:
To cover the need to take
something moral from the fake,--
The pool of desires, needs and fears,
A smile offered to hide one's own pain and tears.
We are very-very needy
when we are ready
and run to fall in love's embrace
with full apparent grace,
The ugliness of our needy self remains hidden,
Run as we love-bidden,
We cover our pain with smile,
Paint selflessness on the needy guile,
We are looking for a hiding hole
after getting bored with journey sole,
To sneak in
to run away from the ever-chasing sin,
To run away
from the miserable self's sway.
We are a very poor dove
when we go seeking love,
But we suppose ourselves to be rich,
So much for that illusionary itch,
In youth a body we need
for desire's feed;
In the middle age
caught in the cage,
we are looking to boost our faith
in greying, weakening vitality's swathe,
We feel cheated, deleted
and defeated
by the youth's passing clouds,
Struggle we to come out
of the grey shrouds,
We look for the confirmation
of our weakened vigor's strength
from some other soul;
In the age old,
our power and strength on hold,
Just a story already told,
Haunted by fears,
Tormented by pitiable tears,
We are seeking cushions
against falls giving broken bones,
To beat the loneliness ghosts
and avoid destiny's roast.
Love is a very sweet bargain
in lieu of all the sweet sounding
treasures of fabled emotions,
The strength of love
lies in confirming the needs and fears
as pure, pristine emotions
of just give, give and give,
While in reality,
we are merely there
to take, take and take.
