“My Idea of Romance (Love Sonnet)

My idea of romance is a bit different,
it's not steamy hot sex at the back of a car,
my idea of romance is to snuggle up together
on the couch, with pizza and Gilmore Girls.

Excitement lasts till lust is satisfied,
intimacy transcends excitement in love and life.
Intercourse is a small variable in the love equation,
there is more to love than doing it from behind.

There's a difference between
being horny and being in love,
when you are horny, you want release -
when in love, you don't want to be released.

Intimacy is a life-long journey,
it doesn't end with stripping off clothes -
real intimacy begins when you stand baring your soul.”
― Abhijit Naskar, The God Sonnets: Naskar Art of Theology

selflessness is divine sanity.
To be human takes no scripture,
living gospel takes humanity.

Not sheep, not wolf, be human -
graduate from dogma to divinity.

place it in the heart of humanity.

arrangement of atoms dictates reality.
From inanimate to animate to sapient,
humanity is an affair of cosmic serendipity.”

“I decide what I am,
and I decide the parameters of what I am -
for example, I can be a monk and still fall in love,
just like, I can be a muslim poet,
and still consider the koran to be flawed -

I can be a theologian of any faith, and consider
all the scriptures to be a mix of good and bad -
my mind is the measure, not convention;
life is my constitution, not tradition.

This is how I created whatever I've created,
not in defiance of convention, but indifference -
I built my universe, aloof from foolish fractures,
to men of ritual it's a terrible sacrilege.”
― Abhijit Naskar, The God Sonnets: Naskar Art of Theology

as my vastness feels a threat to narrowness.
Sun is the devil in narratives of the rigid,
rays of the morning sting nasty on the bigoted.

I'm accused of grandeur, for I embody justice -
I'm accused of slander, for I embody tolerance -
I'm accused of blasphemy, for I epitomize equality -
every people, my home, hence, I'm such a nuisance.”
― Abhijit Naskar, The God Sonnets: Naskar Art of Theology
