This makes me think really. Really I don't think that love and liberation should be mutually exclusive. Glad that inner strength has restored wisdom here, and I wonder if love also continues. Thanks for participating in Poetry Jam!
it is interesting...sometimes though our heart will lead us astray if we depend on only it to guide us....because our lusts will lead us to some dark place that are far from bliss...well played
Excellent point and poem! We need to keep perspective, especially to keep our strengths alive and not lose them in love. :-) Thank you very much for your visit to my blog
Very nice lines, Arathi! I really enjoyed reading this, it left me thinking... Sounds like Plato, the philosopher, and the idea that passions keep us away from the things that make us grow inside. Just a very personal interpretation. Again, very nice write!
Culturally, I understand where you are coming from as my dad is from India and this is a popular theme in our family discussions. Lovely poem and I loved the bowl of smileys. Heheh.
