April Fools

a poem by Ramachandran Nair R

Are you and me fools to love each other so much?
People given the freedom to name as they please,
Reaching our love to the nook and corner of this universe,
In the larger interest of mankind to whose welfare we work together,
Loving each other the most that fools can least afford to understand.

Feather light, smoother and all weather proof our love,
Oh! Jealous men and women you can envy but not fool us any more,
On this universe and on this fool’s day keeping your foot down,
Looking straight to see the universe as it is and as a whole,
Sitting on the lotus feet of the Divine Mother who is all compassionate.
