LOVE RATIONAL

Now in a terror of love that I’m ,

let me close all  memories’  door

and  be away from my past

from  Love’s living ghost

that my mind does overcast

reviving  depressed corpses

of wounded love

from oblivion’s ashes,

making them instantly fall ,

revealing their ugly faces

on  life’s frosty floor,

urging me to irrational fear…

words of passion I long back I said

get  unconsciously repeated

as  yester night with a cute girl-

a present clone of the original-

in a hallucination  I talked

she recoiled with horror

and  I’ m in terror

was  she Ananda of Lord Budha’s new tale

in mortal love turned pale

and I , Prakriti who from grace fell ?

Help me recover

from this madness

of  love so irrational.

O God help me

while declaring my love

to be fair and rational !!!
