Enchanting Existence


This here is another poem on love, this time some thought went to it... so it does have a bit of meaning if you try to understand it. The feel of poetry is always more important than the meaning behind it.


Love, classic conflict
Twixt sentiments distinct

Amusing, when one tries to deny
True affection being puerile,
By reasons of peculiar skepticism,
More than elusive mysticism,

Yet, one doesn’t know the inner feeling
Which hides far beneath every feeling

Love, pure and immaculate
Thought of as an euphoric enigma,

One doesn’t describe it,
Rather shouldn’t describe it,
For essence is lost
If one is able to decipher it

Uncertainty romances romance
Certainty revolts romance

Now and then,
Bitter as Californian cranberries
Then and now,
Sweet as Swiss strawberries

Making men lose rationality,
Rejoice in reflective spoonerisms
Succumb to sober solicitations
Crack concomitant contradictions
Tussle with tempestuous trauma
Awaken quiescent quintessence
Dissolve deific virginity
Confide confidential ineptitude

To love to be in love,
An enchanting existence indeed

hey .. one suggestion b'rat,,, poems are not supposed to make you look up dictionaries, and to be frank i couldnt make out half the words... this poem might tantalize and swagger walking dict's... but to mere mortals and tangible, threadbare chestnuts like me... its not a bit interesting...

no offence meant and i commend your hard work done on this.. but try a simpler language next time... should touch more hearts than only kanti as you do of now...

cheers.. t

oh u 4got valsi too.. sry.. oh yea she wuldnt udrstnd too..lol

mayb priya, young author n all... clap clap clap...i guess she mite understnd... a bit at least

oh... my gf wuld like it too.. come to think of it... shed like nythin i write, evn if i dont

well, i guess all my poems are a bit complex.. mayb ive inventd a new style of poetry>>!

@vishesh
uh... well, if u think im in love coz i wrote dis poem... nope.. dis one i wrote for the heck of it...

besides everybody loves to do sumthin whn bored!... i prefer writin highly byzantine poetry!

(uh...byzantine means complex)
