Looks of love: A reason or for a season?

When I was actually wondering, what will be my next post all about. Nothing to be surprised off, I didn’t actually have a thought or two to write on in my mind. But after a couple of days this bubble of question sprang from the ocean of my heart asking me: ‘What are the Looks of love; and if there are then is it a reason or for a season?’

I was baffled the way how sometimes heart role plays the mind. In an attempt to know what dimension of ones being can this question be answered, I thought why not ask few fellow beings about what they think ‘Love in their life is’ and:

For a 33 year young man, who has comfortably carved his life so far with education of interest, job of passion and life of freedom when asked to describe what dimension of love have you been in? pause pause pause pause …… blink blink …Hmmm Hmmm…. Well this was not the answer but the silence metaphoric into a long wait in the air  and here comes the answer (finally)  ‘I have not yet experienced anything as such, so probably there is much to explore and have fun in the relationships. I guess I may not need anything as serious as love in fact’. And I heard it as ‘PLEASURE GRAPPLE’ is the look of love for this man but is it for a reason or for a season? Is the call to be answered?

For a 47 year young woman, when I asked the same question, her eyes rolled the silver lining of the clouds and a ‘huh’ as a conclusion of the flash back she would have played in her mind of her life made me even more eager to know what was the answer and she said ‘SECURITY - what more can you ask for in this unpredictable life, true love may not really happen, love can wait I guess’ and there I was controlling my expression of not wanting my jaws to drop and make the environment anything more confusing than the answer. And there the answer was “SECURITY – a look of love’

And when asked for a mid 60’s well travelled gentleman, his answer to this question was ‘It’s all about sharing common aspects we have in life’ So there my heart was tugging a string to have harmony with the question, ‘Where the differences should dig their grave as all the common aspects shared will try to attain nirvana with a companion’ and after a orchestra of all long notes; many major and minor notes, virtually visualized by the heart which was playing the role of mind now gave the answer that is ought to be given … 'truth' … and i.e., one needs to have so called ‘ISOLATED PLEASURE ZONE’ which is u, which gives u the reason to be a cave person to invent and re-invent a new or old u to wear a make-up of all the characterized looks of love with the sunscreen as security, tinted moisturizer as diplomacy/sweet nothings, cover-up stick as job, a compact powder as external u, to sometimes blur the vision of relationships, the kohl as fantasies and not to forget the mascara as expectations (which extends once far-sightedness) and lipstick as adventurous colors that words spoken and unspoken will paint ur life with. 

After all the make-up that one wears as looks of love, at the end of  the day one has to look into the mirror to have a clean skin which I connect as a clean soul to know that fantasies have left a mark and you need wet tissues to wipe them off, a tan because sunscreen as security didn’t really give the expected SPF protection which can be cleaned by time to pass-by, mascara as expectations ripped off few lashes in war between degree of achievement and ability to give/take, sweat (juggling between work-life and personal-life conditions) absorbed the external u but sweet nothings helped to give a hook to hang-in there to know that, at some point of time in life all this fashion of love needs a break to play the game clean of ‘SEE-SAW’ wherein to 'see' a person as he/she is and u r seen back as a real u and just u in acknowledgment as “SAW’. The ack maybe in the form of a smile, a pat, a humble kiss on forehead or a mischievous wink. 
Perhaps in the game of SEE-SAW there is a balance of how much is seen and how much is not in each other’s span as togetherness for just one life.

So wear the best make-up to have the right look of love(security, compassion, humbleness, fun, sharing, eternity, soulmates etc.,) because you will be on a road of high and low curves to play the “SEE-SAW’ in the air of lively life whether it’s for a reason or for a season remains a mystery!!!!!
