Idea of Love


A lazy stroll hand in hand 
through the less frequented bylanes 
of a tucked-away sleepy village
Is my idea of love.

Covert glance, shy smile
And a romantic interlude
On a quaint stone staircase
Is my idea of love.

In midst of a downpour
Searching for a pair of dancing shoes
Instead of an umbrella
Is my idea of love.

To consciously ignore 
the allure of glittering baubles,
for the serenity of the vast mountains,
Is my idea of love.

Rising above the mundane to the realization 
That love is complete in itself
Instead of depending on a person or thing
Is my idea of love
