True love is indeed a heavenly abode
of catharsis
It has no scope for being mean, licentious
and selfish,
It is a untainted and delicious
seasoned with sacrifice
Oh! It is a perennial source of
celestial Bliss!
True love harnesses no base propensity
It is, for Its votaries, a lovely,
sprightly Deity,
It is high above any fear,
concealment and anxiety
Oh! It is based on a rare absorption
of bitter adversity!
True love knows not any deceit, pretence
or treachery
It never gives birth to greed, envy,
revenge or lechery,
It is alien to immoral deviation,
depravity or perjury
Oh! Yes, It upon the Earth, the invaluable
Treasury!
True love can, with ease, change rusty
iron into glossy gold
It can transform every commonplace
into something unique untold,
It can turn an abominable hell
into a pure, sacred and hallowed Paradise
O that I had been adorned with
this unthinkable and unattainable Prize!

Dash Sir’s suggestion after he went through and liked my poem “LOVE IS NOT……”
Thank u, sir, for your inspiration.
