LOVE WITHOUT TRUST
Oh! Love is a hollow bubble without Trust,
It floats in the uncertain and insecure confluence of rivers only to burst!
It is, like a Tower, built on the plinth firm, loyal, spontaneous and intrinsic,
Else It may tumble at any moment for want of strength indispensable and basic!
Love without Trust is a rootless tree;
That can never grow straight and erect to receive air fresh, hygienic and free,
That gets too stunted and dwarfed to reach the Sun for sufficient light of joy,
In life's sky the clipped wings of ecstasy fail to fly as those of a handmade toy!
Love, without Trust, is a mountain of iron;
That is eroded by the salty winds of narcissism, possessiveness and suspicion!
Even the most fertile lands turn worse than deserts devoid of greenery and bliss,
Let alone heydays, life becomes a curse, being deprived of an ounce of peace!
Let's, thus, all of us, to relish in life heavenly Ambrosia, love with Trust,
What has already been tasted by Gangadhar Meher, Wordsworth and Robert Frost!
