LOVE

L O V E

Love like drops of morning dew

Quenches the thirst of parched lips of flowers

Decorating their lives with charming colors

Love with the break of dawn

Glimmers with song and smiles

With the advent of season of love

The deserted forest, too

Feels like a paradise, fresh and new

Love like drops of morning dew

Love Like a floating cloud above

Brings rain and life to the barren land of heart

Every leaf in the garden, feels fresh and alive

Green grass rises from the sterile

Womb of earth

Love enlightens, even the hearts void of love

Love like a floating cloud above

Love burning like a flame a fire

Awakens the sleeping hearts with

Its eternal light

With many secrets hidden in its warmth

The more it shines, the more

Affection it bestows

Like a wave, it rushes to the shores of heart

Dancing, dressed in a colorful attire

Love like burning like a flame a fire

Love like a vision, a dream

Brightens the eye like the morning sun

Sparkling stars of burning desires

Restless hearts, with changing countenances

Trees becomes verdant, when

The birds of dreams descend upon them

When the stars , tired and desolate

Whisper softly to the earth

Many candles shine, in the eyes

Tired with ages of torment

Light of love flows like a stream

Love like a vision, a dream

Love like an agony, a pain

Like metaphor of the seasons gone far

Shines in lonely nights like a twinkling star,

When the candle flame begins to quiver

When the breeze of desperation begins to below

When streets suddenly become deserted and lone

When the heart is left with no consolation.

When shoulders can no more bear

The burden of grief

Love, lends its comforting hand

Like a passionate friend

Log after the caravans have gone

It dances like a swirl of dust,

Again and again

Love like any gony, a pain.
