Before falling in love
We must see
The map of each other’s house
Should see
Each other’s limits
Who is standing where
Who is having
What sort of dreams
Should see
Each other’s courtyards
Each other’s terraces
Each other’s stairs
And windows too
If there is no house
Even that should be noticed
How much sky is there
On whose head
And how much shadow of a tree
Before falling in love
One should know
The definitions of life
The truth of death
What are each other’s
Perplexities and courage
Who understands
How much amount of misery
Who give how much importance
To struggle
Or how much patience
One has
This should also be known
That how much greed
Is hiding in whom
How much hatered
And who is
How much cruel and violent
If before loving
We could read
Each other’s diary
Then a lot
Could be guessed
Before falling in love
We should see
Into each other
Like we see
Into a well to know
How much water is there
We should also brush
Each other’s shoulders
To measure
How strong are these
Before loving
One must be
Careful and cautious
Not to repent latter
And not to blame
Each other
Love that comes
Like a flood-tide
Breaks things into pieces
But love is also
The name of creation
Not so much
Of destruction
This should be remembered fully
By both of them
And so
Don’t get angry
If at all you get angry
Ask for forgiveness
With full honesty
Falling in love
Without giving a thought
Is immensely painful
It is self destruction
But in fact
When one fall in love
The wisdom doesn’t help
Mind gets defeated
All these precautions
Go out to the window
One struggles continuously
The struggle between
Logic and emotions
For some
Logic wins
For others
Emotions
And like this
The man gets devastated
And falls in love
Very badly
With some one.
