It’s All About Love

Gone are the days when I woke up with a heavy heart
Hardly slept a wink, kept looking out for you in the dark
Gone are the days of fear, gone is the flow of my tear
Eyes opened like they were before, I can now see life so clear

It’s all about love, It’s about you making me want to smile
It’s all about love, it’s about sensing each other’s pain from a mile
It’s about being the reason to live, God how could it ever be the reason to die?
Just transparent, the truth is not distorted, no room to lie.

Love is when I smile, and smile just thinking about a part of you,
That lives in me, while a chunk of you lives in me too
It’s not about sex, it’s not about lust and lack of dialogue
Only love can be your vision as you travel in the fog

Love is freedom in the midst of being prisoned by your affection
feeling so secure, insecurities don’t stand a chance against your dedication
but every one has to see the darkness I guess to know the real value of the light
Love is Allah’s hug, bringing me out the darkness as HE held me tight

Note: This is my poem to myself, as a token of appreciation that I can relate to life like I always did until a couple of years ago. It’s coming back man! Thank you Allah, thank you Jesus and thank you to my most wonderful bunch of people who have held my hand and taken me back to the spot on my path from where I got lost. Talk to me about life, talk to me about the universe, hey talk to me about love. Sanjay wants to see me make two walls fall in love again and make them have babies. I have promised in these coming weeks, I will. My beautiful people, if someone takes you to the edge of life, you don’t need it. If someone cant tell it to you as it is and has to often say ‘I meant this and I meant that’ you don’t need it. In love, in freedom there is no concept of ‘little bit’ – it’s the open skies, free yourselves from the pain and breathe the universe, breathe the soul of mother earth – breathe it for Allah. I am back to living like a Hindu, loving like Christian and praying/believing like a Muslim. Life awaits you and when someone loves you, they will feel for you and put you before anything else. If they tell you that they don't know what to say or do, leave them now, coz they do not love you. Allah himself has put love into us, and thus we will always know how to love. Bismillah. Alleluia. Hare Hare. Take the deep breath and live knowing it’s all about love – Tagore Almeida -
