Yielding can work as a core negative image buster.”

“Mad Messy Love (Sonnet 3271)

Love doesn't erase, love enhances.
Love doesn't convert, love completes.
If it bruises, it's not love.
It's not love if it vanishes at release.

Love also gets mad and messy at times,
not abusive, but difficult for the ego to bear,
ultraindividualist snowflakes diagnose it toxic,
and take the nearest exit to hunt new venture.

Love doesn't seek maturity,
love seeks to be immature together.
Love doesn't seek to be safe from mess,
love jumps hand in hand right into disaster.

Escapists have no right to love,
lovers have no need for escape.
Halflovers need just an excuse to leave,
I for one am the keeper of flame.”
― Abhijit Naskar, Jashn-e Insan: Stranger is God, Helping is the Prayer
