Did I Know It? Poem by Neela Nath Das

No harsh word touches
me and my love..
The heart-rendering
expression drowned
me in deep sea
long, long ago.
I don't care
who hates me
or pretends to
stay in hatred...
I know who loved me once
can't leave me...
I'm such a guy,
what I once thought,
none can get me away
from that.
So headstrong!
If I heard any
love-wrapped diction,
I wash all hatreds
with that very water
of love.....
Did I know it
before I fell in love?
