Love's Lies and Other Deceptions (Paperback)

Love is a subject as old as humanity itself. Countless volumes have been written on love; classifying, categorizing, analyzing and dissecting it. And yet, love remains as incomprehensible as ever. These poems are my attempt to understand love; a love that is pure and unblemished; a love that is serene yet mischievous, uncompromising yet fluid, unyielding yet caring, exacting yet joyous. These poems are presented in the chronological order they were written. Here is one aspect of love: Love's promises are always dangerous Outcomes are perpetually in suspense The good and the bad, the metric of the world Invariably loses, its meaning Cruel is caring, supporting suffocating Critical is kind, annoying endearing To judge it by words, devoid of the context Is to remain unaware, of its true nature
