SOMETHING I LOOK AT-139
BY-SMRUTI RANJAN MOHANTY

       BEYOND BODY AND MIND

Decades we spent
Enduring and dreaming a life
That never came by 
Decades we lived in ourselves 
Thinking about each other all the way 
Respecting each other's feelings and dignity 
Without trespassing into other's domain 
Probably that is love at its very best
More fulfilling than thousand marriages 

Decades passed
Neither I tried to meet you 
Not you tried to meet me 
We remained in each other as a sweet memory 
Love those years
I never spent in grief and despair 
But in weaving dreams of love
More fascinating than the real world
We enjoyed our dreams the way 
One enjoys the summer shower 
And bright sunshine in a chill morning 

Days and years passed
We lived in each other's dream
In dreams, our  love unfolded 
In dreams, love matured 
Bloomed into a beautiful flower 
And found  its ultimate fulfilment 
When love degenerates into a relationship 
It loses its grace and beauty 
Love is beyond relationships
It neither needs a mind to conceive it,
Nor a body to express it
It is beyond body and mind, a feeling, a state of consciousness where one truly lives.
Love is too delicate to withstand 
The scorching heat of sun and pears of shower,
Ego, arrogance and burden of a demanding relationship 
It can not thrive in a society
Where jealousy and malice, treachery and hypocrisy Is the go of life.

After decades 
When we at last met 
I could never see those grey hairs, sunken eyes,
Tired hands and legs, ageing body and mind
I could only see my teenage love 
Coming rushing to me with petals of love fluttering 
Dancing eyes, quivering lips, and the aroma of
Wilted petals intoxicating me, 
Taking me to the heaven of relationships,
My dreams and ecstasy 
Where winds never stop blowing 
Where rivers never stop flowing 
Where there is perennial spring 
Where cuckoo never stops singing 
Where love never ages
Always in its teens.
