Love's Lies and Other Deceptions

By Mukesh Chhajer

Love is a subject as old as humanity itself. Countless volumes have been written on love; classifying, categorizing, analyzing and dissecting it. And yet, love remains as incomprehensible as ever.

These poems are my attempt to understand love; a love that is pure and unblemished; a love that is serene yet mischievous, uncompromising yet fluid, unyielding yet caring, exacting yet joyous. These poems are presented in the chronological order they were written.

Love's promises are always dangerous
Outcomes are perpetually in suspense
The good and the bad, the metric of the world
Invariably loses, its meaning

Cruel is caring, supporting suffocating
Critical is kind, annoying endearing
To judge it by words, devoid of the context
Is to remain unaware, of its true nature
