LOVE IS FREEDOM

My lonely self at times

wishes to accept his proposal

Would it be wise to enter into

an agreement of betrothal

What does a person need

at this age

I have seen life,

played all roles on stage

Yes I do admit that at times

I crave company

Tying myself up for it needs

a properly thought of summary

Am I willing to sacrifice my freedom

and peace of mind

Which I had not tasted before

and now in ample find

Not that I am always free

but I do have in hand some time

To look at myself, my soul , my wishes,

dead since long but now a prime

I had forgotten myself, how I looked

and what interested me

Now I think about these things

and thoughts fly to the past to see

A friend said you look prettier now

and your skin and eyes glow

Yes I was a zombie then

now emotions in eyes show

My lips curl upwards in a smile

a sight not seen before

My smile now has become a talked of subject

and compliments galore

I smile to myself when thoughts tip toe by

and my eyes like stars twinkle

I chat with poet friends on lovely topics

and this has removed my wrinkles

One should never bind oneself

with limited few

Keep your soul free ,

while things on its own slowly brew

For these connections and bindings

always drain you out

To love you do not need

to tie a knot

You do not need

to be tied to got

You do not need to be tied

and to your home brought

Love likes to be free

And I am love is what I see.
