I AM LOVE

I asked happiness,
Will you be with me?
Replied! Didn’t even see.
I asked sadness,
Will you be with me?
Replied! Have time none for thee.
I asked richness,
Will you be with me?
Replied! Gold’s already with me.
I asked brain,
Will you be with me?
Replied! Relations broken between you & me.

None gave a ride,
And I walked alone.

I met hope,
Said! Walk on,
Destiny’s near sea.
I met patience,
Said! Let’s wait,
Lights coming from thee.
I met optimism,
Said! Don’t worry,
Success waiting for 'we'.
I met dream,
Said! Close your eyes,
See you have got all you wish.

Gave me courage,
And I walked with.

Time embarked,
Asked! Do you know 'recognize'?
I said no, it’s not on my fleet.
Told! On your way,
Partner of yours waited,
Gleamed! You sailed off,
Looking at blank sea.
Murmured! Why did not you had,
Recognize on with beats?
I sailed back,
With time on navigators seat,
To defeat my brains ply.

Everyone was on crew,
And I sailed again,
With all that left,
Immaterial, dumped in coal sink.
Yeah! I am love,
Walking alone, singing songs,
Delighted, my journey was free

I was going through the article “The Thing Called Love” which appeared in February 2006 Issue of “National Geographic” and in the course, in a break wrote this rough draft, which probably, never will make to final draft.
