The Ultimate Quest

Great men and women have said
All is fair in love and war
Is it true?
Are they both comparable?
May be may be not
for when love can inflict pain in one soul
war can inflict pain in hundreds and hundreds of souls

If there is one thing in this world
that can bring bundles of joy
and makes one to shed tears
then it can be only Love
for war can only bring tears
and no joy

When Aphrodite and Cupid busy themselves
in conspiring to make
two souls fall in love
what on earth makes them to drift apart?
Why on earth do they give themselves
to their faceless ego?
Isn't there a better way
for the two souls
to rest in peace
when they fall in love?
