India took a hammering
\nIts caste system evolved
\nAcross so many lines of prejudice
\nNothing really solved
\nSentiment and feeling
\nIntimacy beyond
\nThe enchantment and bewitching factor
\nWhat is the eternal bond<\/p>\n
The intrigue and perhaps seduction
\nOf the spirit and the soul
\nThe canoodling the sweet sensation
\nThe light of life’s control
\nThe affection for another
\nNever replaced by time
\nThe uxorious the doting
\nThe constancy of the climb<\/p>\n
To cherish and to cling to
\nTo value and to prize
\nAnd really just imagine
\nThat those with different eyes
\nMight choose the beau that they revere
\nMight dote upon today
\nMight just arrange your marriage
\nWith the dowry that they pay<\/p>\n
The affection that was mutual
\nA respect and sympathy
\nA fondness and a kindness
\nThat burst from out of thee
\nThat magickal experience
\nThat fascination for
\nLoves young dream that manifests
\nTo the ecstasy of sure<\/p>\n
To feel that squeeze and pamper
\nThat so beloved phrase
\nThat is your every moment
\nJust one glance does amaze
\nThe very sense of being
\nOnes mooning lovelorn dear
\nMoved to express such passion
\nWith that titilating fear<\/p>\n
Age isnt really relevant
\nThough culturally may be so
\nIts the chemistry of seeing
\nThat surely has to grow
\nThe sweet bouquets of loving
\nThe sonnets that may fly
\nThe love spoon at your table
\nAnd the touch when you know why<\/p>\n
Caste systems create malignancy
\nSpread malice from the core
\nSourness and mordacity
\nFerociously ignore
\nThe will and love of people
\nThe disservice and abuse
\nIll-willed and ill-wishing
\nHow can they introduce
\nSuch obduracy and callousness
\nInto a love knot who
\nWould dare to be that baleful
\nTo take such a malevolent view<\/p>\n
In india it happens almost every day
\nLovers sweep emotions
\nAnd guilt stands in the way
\nThe mood can run to anger
\nTo suspiciousness and pain
\nCorruption and venality
\nAnd untruths and disdain<\/p>\n
From integrity comes a shabbiness
\nAnd honour takes a hit
\nIts cultural and historic
\nPrincipled the grit
\nOf the conscientious lovers
\nTheir immaculate display of ardour
\nFor each other on any given day
\nUnworthiness and paltriness
\nPitiable and futile
\nAnd the lowest of opinions
\nIt just feels like a trial<\/p>\n
The women gets the blame for this
\nThe evildoer she
\nMight face the wrath of family
\nRogues of infamy
\nIncensed with family honour
\nAn unfeeling impassive slight
\nThat burns out of such anger
\nAnd death she may invite<\/p>\n
In Delhi one such vision
\nFrom the aching tarn did rise
\nWhere the filth did curdle over time
\nCausing the demise
\nOf what was truly beautiful
\nBut lost in pangs of awe
\nThey call themselves the Love Commando’s
\nMen of peace not war<\/p>\n
Providing secret shelters
\nFor angels to hold out
\nArranging couple counselling
\nWashing through the doubt
\nThe crippling emotion
\nThe anger and the pain
\nTaking on the culture
\nAnd reducing the strain<\/p>\n
In india a marriage is the
\nUltimate repose
\nThe rural sense of justice
\nReally It just flows
\nEnormous pressures on young love
\nIf they they have moved away
\nTo cities to universities
\nWhere freedoms come to play<\/p>\n
Where new age love is frequent
\nIt casts a light abroad
\nThe death threats and the anger
\nIts more than they can afford
\nSome artificial caste creates
\nAn obligatory desire
\nWhich is seen as misogyny
\nAnd meeting fire with fire<\/p>\n
And so they work with benevolence
\nTheir disposition pure
\nCharity of spirit
\nWhich really is the cure
\nTenderness and responsiveness
\nAnd generosity
\nOf time of love
\nSamaritans they be<\/p>\n
Go betweens they take the stress
\nThey get death threats galore
\nThey are truly angels
\nServing love and never war
\nIts all done out of kindness
\nMagnanimously so
\nGallant even chivalrous
\nTheir love and care on show<\/p>\n
REMEMBER THEM THE LOVE COMMandO’s
