Book of Love

WARNING:I request all practical people to not read this...you will undoubtedly hate it! And if you still go ahead and read it..please don't leave messages telling that I am crazy..I already know that fact!

Have you ever wondered how it would be if someone were to write a book on how love feels... you will say..there have been millions of books written on love-
"How to fall in love in 10 days",
"how to fall in love with your sister's fiance's brother"
"how to fall in love with the perfect Martian"..etc etc..

but i am not talking about that... if someone could pen down exactly how it is to love...that exact feeling crystallized into tangible words... i wonder how beautiful that would have been...

There is a country song by Kenny Rogers where he croons "I would sing the perfect song,if only my heart had a voice" Hmmm..i think that would be nice...to be able to voice your emotions just as you feel them....

There is a song "Book of love"...a beautiful song which says the book of love would be long and boring with instructions for dancing....but i choose to disagree!

The book of love..in my mind's eye.. would be a big old book...time-worn... hard bound in brown leather....with a red satin book mark... when i open it....written in a beautiful running handwriting...are words written in magic ink which disappear...each person reads what his heart tells him!

And sometimes..when the message is too beautiful for prose...there will a song...or lilting music... Every sheet will have the fragrance of the first day of spring...and maybe while you are reading it...you can hear the sound of raindrops.....You can even listen to the breeze dancing around dry leaves...and sometimes when you cannot decipher whats written...small fairies would fly out of the sheets and whisper its meaning into your ears!

things which you ought to remember and never forget would be underlined with rainbows....and the pages you liked, you can always book mark using tiny twinkling stars... The secrets inside that book would thrill you...move you..scare you...I think if that book ever gets written,it would be more fun to read than a ride on Aladdin's carpet!


It would tell you how pearls are nothing but a lover's tears...or how roses are broken hearts...and the stars are .... just wishes lovers made for each other...

It also talks about the sad things..the tears..the fights.the self-doubts..the torment...and questions you whether you are strong enough to endure the tests on your way...questions your fortitude....it also talks about the wisdom at the end of road.

The book would also clearly say that love is not sacrifice.....love is not having to sacrifice! love is not compromising..love is collaborating.....and when you read it from the book..it wouldn't feel as if it were just big words and nothing much!

I wish I could get my hands on that book.. I so wish to read it! but deep down I know i am not ready to read those secrets..at least not yet! and this book would not be on sale...it would be given only to those who hope...
