Why Can Love Be So?
Why can
it be?
When it
is unreciprocated?
Can love
thrive by itself?
Nay! It
cannot!
Love is
like a flower
It needs
to be watered daily
Otherwise,
it dies.
Oh, yes!
It has to be reciprocated!
It is of
the loved and the beloved
A meeting
of hearts and minds
For love,
as they say, begets love.
What can
be more lovely?
Is there
a thing so much lovelier?
Is there
a feeling so much comforting
And even
so much more fulfilling?
What can
be more beautiful?
Is there
an emotion so much more beautiful?
Alas,
yes, there is!
Love is
ever so wonderful indeed!
I Have Loved You
I have
loved you in the here and now
I have
loved all your frailties and shortcomings.
I have
loved all of you and everything about you
I have
loved you so much to the overflowing.
I have
always said, and I have always promised
That my
love will remain ever so fresh like the flowers.
That I
will love you even when everyone has left
That I
will love you till the heavens are no more.
If love
is everything there is and if love conquers all
If love
alone is enough, why have you gone?
Will love
then die or end when you leave?
Will love
still breed when all else has fallen?
When Love Strikes
When love
strikes at first instance
From
first we met till first we spoke
Realization
likewise strikes like thunderbolt
Alas! It
is something unfathomable, unexplainable.
I knew
then, it will always be you!
For no
one can touch my whole being like you do
You have
burned inside the recesses of my soul
And have
ever remained deeply etched within.
If this
feeling be real, if this be true
Ever be
the only one my heart recognizes
And stay
unfadingly fresh like the flowers
Though
the heavens are no more.
