The Last and the First Love


Going back to the pavilion

After scoring a duck in the

Most important match of

Love entanglement played

With no strings attached.


Overjoyed by the zero sum

Game because it is an eye

Opener which can stand in

Good stead for a lifetime.


As the life evolves and revolves

In variegated means and ways

Things remain sedate and subdued

But at the end of the day, it is

Still in the whirlpool of discordant

Notes totally unexpected.


No matter-of-fact explications

No bad blood left behind

No ill will towards anybody

Everything ends in a positive note.


It is time not to loose faith in the

Concept of pure love without

Which the survival of the world

Is in a spot of bother.


The trust in love endures and

Transcends the onslaught and

The endeavoring trait of love

Stands undiminished

and unwavered

But now it is more discernible and

Harms nobody in the bargain.
