By Dhanuka Dickwella
Love is like a dream
A dream come true
You do not wish to
Wake thyself from
Its surreal
Tender, soft and real
Warm and cozy
Like a nursed baby
Infused in a bit
Of the touch of lust
Love lives longer
Longer than just love alone
The day you deprive
Love of lust
It snarls the knell
The death knell of love
Keep it in unison
Love indulged in lust
Knowing in earnest that
They are all but distinct
Two sides of the same minted coin.

This poem beautifully captures the intertwining essence of love and lust, emphasizing their symbiotic relationship like two sides of a minted coin. The vivid imagery, comparing love to a dream and a nursed baby, adds depth to the emotions conveyed. The acknowledgment that they are distinct yet interconnected resonates with the complexities of genuine connections. Dhanuka keep shining and the world shining with your own symposiums like the contemporary version of Plato.
