The loved one does not love me back; <br />The loving one does not get my love. <br />Who you love and who loves you <br />Aren’t one and the same person. <br />I’m dear to my mother and <br />My daughter is dear to me. <br />Mandothari loved Ravana <br />And Ravana was mad of Seeta. <br />The real love is neither mutual <br />Nor reciprocal nor conditional. <br />Love is not rational; but instinctual. <br />28.07.2009 <br />[The characters are from the epic, Ramayana. <br />Mandothari was in ardent love for her husband King Ravana, who was mad of Sita, wife of Prince Rama]<br /><br />Rm.Shanmugam Chettiar.<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/love-is-not-rational/
