All that I know about love

All that I know about love is
It keeps getting trapped in cerebral games
Hedging heartbreaks
Mitigating pains.

All that I know about love is
It keeps getting trapped in analysis
Like differential-calculus of Passion
In the cost-benefit matrix.

All that I know about love is
I keep losing it in a quagmire of spoofs
It hides somewhere deep amongst falsehoods
Like an elusive promise, a mysterious muse.

आत्मविश्लेषण

अभय दो!
मणिहीन तमस से
विवेक के कारागार से
मुक्त करो!
प्रभंजन कंचुली से
विषाक्त सर्पों की देह तुष्ट हो।
आत्ममन्थन की प्रताड़ना दुष्कर
श्रापित दान
क्षय हो कुरूप दर्पण !
दो मुक्ति का सोपान।
