As The Scent Of Love Spreads.. Poem by M D Dinesh Nair

As The Scent Of Love Spreads..

Rating: 4.7


It`s not an illusion or not
As some say, nay some chant
In between the moments of living and dying
Every one feels the scent of love.

But we tell a big lie
And begin to feel contented.
How long will one live with that false pride?
We know not.

Love has got a scent
It`s a scent with a thousand hands
Reaching out to us and
Embracing the needy among us.

It`s a solace
With the wings of an angel
Flying unto our moments dear.
Why are you proud of a world that does`nt smell some love?
We know not.

The scent of love over reaches
The borders of a day.
It refuses to leave next
The chambers of the succeeding night.

We see it
In the small smile blooming
On a kid`s face fresh as daisy,
We also hear it
In the sweet word whispered into
Our ears by our dearest man and woman
And we feel it then
In the speechless closeness of
Our pets that never write poems.

We are to know that
In many more things around us
This scent of love still spreads
But we often tell a big lie
That none is there to love us!

We can see,
Across the skies an unprotected bird flying
It has a destination unknown
And a survival instinct prompts its wings.
And we begin to scribble tales on the enviable freedom
Of this winged crusader...

We may see for a while
The innocent shadows never doomed to extinction!
With the blind and the deaf
Caring for and being cared for
All throughout their life.
How dare we call this life to be
Scentless of love for ever?

If we can`t feel the scent of love,
Let us bury our heads in the depths
Of sympathies unsolicited and looks strange
And live a life of a nasty creature.

When we later wake up to reality
The last breath of reason will have died.
But still,
The scent of love will haunt us as a ghost
And can we rejoice then?

Yes, we get the scent of love from many a source, ..... we get it in the smile blooming on a kid's face, in the mother's affection for her child, in the beauty of friendship, in the love between a man and a woman, in the speechless closeness of our pets... It is that makes our otherwise weary existence, a pleasant experience! A beautiful poem! !

Beautiful poem filled with positivity... From the thousands flowers few carries and spread the scent of love Does it reaches everyone... Many flowers without any scents bloom and wither away noticed by none. Scent of love is not everlasting Time and situation takes it away.. I am not at all against the love. But I too agree that scent of love comes from different sources. But one should not be carried away with it. It may change with the time... This is one fact! I feel it this way. So I am commenting it this way. May be my words may look awkward. Time changes the person. Though he may be standing in the midst of scent, but he couldn't smell one as he lost his sensing capacity... A fantastic poem once again....Loved reading it and kept me engaged to write comments.....

The scent of love spreads to every corner of the earth, to live is to love, without it we are empty and without purpose! Superb write!
