Analysis of What is love
Bikesh Shrestha 1985 (Kathmandu)
What is love?
In the entire universe, I am alone though
Is it the most blissful reward of the god
0r the devil's most sinful curse
Is it a bait thrown randomly in an unfathomable sea
Unaware of who might destined to be
Is it madness through the midst of the wise
Is it like tireless river rummaging through the depth of ocean
Is it the amulet against the dark fate
Or the gesture of dooming karma
Glad, I know not, what is love
But when I behold in the lover's eye
I see in them, an everlasting fire
Indomitable willingness and a desire
