Soaring Hearts

Defying the notion of falling in love, this poem by Mujeeb Jaihoon explores love as an upward journey.

Many hold the wrong view:
Lovers fall in love.

But what about the kite,
Pulled by the thread of love?

It continue to rise in the air,
Seeing its way only higher.

Once free of the earthly desires,
Her love blows and inspires.

Hey reader!
Love is the art
Of conquering life’s heights.
Believe me, it fortifies-
The self, as Devil fights.
