Love in the times of loss


Anticipated hearts. Restless souls. Desperate times.

Sometimes, a moment that comes as a state of perpetual bliss. Sometimes, a lifetime worth of meanings disappear. For some, it brings life to every wrecked corner of the soul. For some, the penetrating spirit of love only brings light onto the rampaged self. Some find harmony in the eternity of words, unspoken. Some spend lifetimes under the shade of the past, seeking an absolution, that never comes. For some, love exists but emotions fade in time. Some seek love in the echoes of tomorrow. Some discover love in the entanglements of dark nights. Some interwoven hearts find comfort, some continue the journey of deep destruction.  

Love allows the lover reach the pinnacle of ecstasy; but the realm of love resides in depths, of which the lover is petrified. Love doesn’t know complications; they fence the walls of the lover’s heart. Love takes its course inwards but the silly lover wanders miles in the quest for answers.

Love ignites every grey corner of the soul. Deeper the love touches the ocean, wilder the fire, unfathomable the pain. Love does not need a companion, the lover does. The lover wanders around in the shambles, exhausted yet reckless. The lover voyages through skies and beyond, looking for any imprints of love not knowing that even love cannot trace its own path. Love is a lone traveller, like the wind, it flows where it wants to, how it wants to, with great ease. No maps are prescribed to love for its pilgrimage from one soul to another; love is the horizon in itself.

But is it possible to know the being that love is, without the lover? Just how sunsets and silhouettes coexist, does love find its muse within the lover?
