A poet's dream

A poet's dream

To be in love
Free of will

When asked about love
It is ridiculed
Claimed that love is the cheapest thing
Most filmiest of emotions
Sold in every store, on every billboard

It is said to be a thing that is impractical.
Not based on logic hence stupid

Easily disgraced as perverse or pervert
Easily disregarded as act of lust
Easily dismissed as an impulse of weak

Then what is the meaning
of this poet's dream
To be in love
Free of will

If love was a flimsy thing
Why would it be so consistent, so persistent

If love was collection of dreams
Then why exist, this intently, in ever present conscious reality

If love was just another emotion
Why is it that love is the air we breathe
Suffocating Without it
Struggling like an estranged fish
without water, moving senselessly
Desperately trying to live

My love is as consistent
My love is as persistent
My love is as intense
My love is as meaningful as the air I breath

Thus
This poet dreams
To be in LOVE
Free of Will
