Let Me Love (Verse) Poem by Muzahidul Reza

I

The world is a vast market of trading love
though it is not a visible commodity at all
every man and woman are buyer and seller
they either buy or sell love at an uncertain profit
some make interest, again some lose capital
but nothing can be obstacle of its buying or selling,
it only depends on the classes of love,
physique, mental demand, ability, and psychology
of the lover and the beloved,

II

Different people seek different loves
some seek spiritual love with God
once, which was at dominant position
making the world heavenly,
some seek paternal, maternal love with parents
that is the responsibility with having birth,
some seek friendly, brotherhood, universal love
some seek love with humanity are obviously great
all these classes make our life happy and perfect,

III

Now, two classes of loves among humans
between male and female predominate over all
nuptial love is superior, necessary to grow mankind,
for orderly and peaceful human world
but wanton love is inferior which embases the world
and turns it into an animal state
it is mainly the ancient theory of love in human society
much of agitations, disputes, chaoses origin from it
nevertheless, it is predominant over nuptial one,

IV

The buying or selling of love is action
has a mixed reaction on lover and beloved,
to some, love is heart beat
love is life is, no love no life
they draw multi sizes, shapes, colors
of heart as love sign
on paper, cloth, body and mind they want
they sing love songs, write love poems
they wear color glasses to see the world romantic,

V

To them, love is a great hope in empty mind
no hope of hopes of deprived but a hope is love
a bunch of weeds in vast sea
an oasis in horrible, fiery desert
life enjoying force in all positions
over throwing power of incursion and vulnerabilities
by love all impossible becomes possible
all dreams becomes practical
love is heaven, heaven is love,

VI

To some, love is the mirages in desert
there looking for water,
diseases of brain and mind,
the smashing of heart on blood sucking stone,
tears drinking eyes in the lonely, ghostly earth,
greedy merchant of making money even from a word,
hungry lion fiercely roars
eats any animal even its own kid,
hungry ocean wants to engulf even the whole earth,

VII

To them, the whole world has turned into hell
there love rings the death bell
a vast deep forest full with ferocious beasts
a deep roaring ocean full with sharks and reptiles
a giant's bulldozer crushes all things and beings
to say love there is nothing, nothing, nothing
what's that is devils' consultations
fury apes' noisy gathering
annoying, screaming in ever raping wilderness,

VIII

Love is love not got automatically
it comes from heart, in heart if it is cultivated
for the people, for the animals and for all.
love is essential in human society
as love comes from God, it is heavenly
that should never be spoilt
rather, should be properly built
with same bricks one after another
without saying anyway, ‘no more, no more'.
