True Love

Truer Love
P K Routray
With no trace of physical passion
nor any presence of sensual attraction
but with presence of parental affection,
coupled with plethora of sisterly compassion
and assertion of brotherly protection
tinged with fond memory of life partner’s fight and fun
and their oneness in facing battles of life to live on
added to it the warmth of a true companion
and aloving attendant’s assured servitude and devotion
the couple at old age expresses their true love in blissful union.
