And I wonder what love is!

During my early teens, I used to wonder what love is,

Never ending thoughts and abstractions it used to be;

Is it something really to cross seven seas for?

Or merely another flowery thought both sweet and sour;

Is it something that brightens under the dusky shadows of moon?

Or it is something that frightens in the hard realities of noon;

Is it like a dessert wine?

That brings in the magical feeling of being at cloud nine,

Or merely another way to surmise,

That the destinies would fall in line.

What so ever it may be,

I used to wonder what love is,

Never ending thoughts and abstractions it used to be.

Often it is heard that love is sweet,

But seldom are those whose destinies meet;

Journey of life takes two roads: dreams and destiny,

My salute to those,

Who against all odds,

Merge these diverged roads.

Life is filled with thorns and beauties,

I am now in my early twenties,

And aaah!!! I still wonder what love actually is.
