You Don’t Know What Love Is! Poem by SANKAR SARKAR

Doggedly I can say
You don’t know what love is!
What you call love is nothing
But emotional tease and miss
Really you yearn for love
Ask the dumb child what it is
Ask the tree and its tender leaves
What strategy the nestling keeps!
Don’t miss to enquire of
What the moon whispers to sea
What the sky talking to lea!


Doggedly I can say
You don’t know what love is!
Love is what you feel in heart
That saves you from all abstract hurt
Like a radar guides life in obscurity
Encouraged life to face dark fatality
Never yielding to what is sycophancy
Like the sun kept life fertile constancy

Doggedly I can say
You don’t know what love is!
Choose one or two rhythms from rhyme
To keep mind aloof from ignorant crime
To consume all venom love is nectar,
Keeping balance betwixt sweet and bitter
Like ever motion it holds the universe,
Explain what life is in ever changing verge
