Poetry Pot Luck : Love & Romance



From one of my old posts.. specifically in respect of the theme , oh, how I wish to practice it all the time .. life would be so much more beautiful..


Letting 'love' to Be
That's love to me !


***

Dedicated to my wife of 28 years on Indian Festival of 'Karva Chauth..'
A fasting day that women particularly from North India celebrate seeking God's blessings for husband's longer life ... a tradition.. that still continues..


It's God's grace
That I see my reflection
In your face...

And pray that you
See yours in mine
Real and true

A beautiful life
In spite of me, thanks,
For being my wife..


***

    Oh this is sweet...

    And I loved this-
    'Letting Love to be.
    Thats Love for me...'

    Reminds me of a post of mine which said- 'When I love YOU, I can Love them all. And when I love them all; I Love YOU all the more...'

    There is infinite happiness
    In person and nature.
    Need is to have that
    Attitude, that focusses
    On happiness, God's grace.
    Problem is that most of
    Inhabitants of earth are
    After the worries.

    Your poems, haikus, thoughts
    reflect positivity.

    Enjoyed reading it.

    My wife objected to 'In spite of me' in Karva Choth massage.
    I fully agree with you.

    Rameshji, that is sooo sweet.. and how lucky is your wife that her husband knows her value and appreciates her being!
    BTW, with due respect to tradition, no karwa chauth vrat has any hand in helping girls find good hubbies.. no sir!! It's all destiny.
