BE LOVE

Be Love by Latha Ramanan
Be Love from the silence of the Heart ,
Never be love of someone alone,
Never rationalise your love or be lovelorn,
Be love from the Heart.

Be the ocean of love, drowning all the passersby,
Sharing your love unconditionally, not knowing why,
Let each cell in you vibrate love,
That resonate in a passing butterfly,  an ant, a dog or a dove.

Let the love in you heal the world,
Give hope to humanity to be bold,
Let all walls and fears be wiped,
Break all the chains that the mind hyped.

Angels in Love by Latha Ramanan

Angels in Love - By Latha Ramanan

A female angel with white wings fell in love with the dark-winged male angel.  They loved each other long enough till the hues of wings exchanged. Colours on the angels’ bodies emerged as designs on the partner’s body. They forgot their individuality and their hearts became one. They whirled in circles in the sky, moving upwards to the Light as one angel.

A Tear Drop

(Pic from Fractracer)

A drop of tear is all I have now to offer You,
Rest of what I thought I had is already with You.

Hidden in my heart this tear drop collected stories,
Gaining a rainbow colour with the stories,

Fossilising into a crystal with rainbow glow,
My heart treasured it and could not let it go.

Being aware, I’m offering you the last thing I call mine,
My Heart is empty and light, nothing to hold as mine.

No more stories, no more others; I remain,
All colours and stories disappeared, the being remains.

Happy New Year
