Falling In Love - Lay

Let eyes meet, let them spark a fire
Let rhythms sing to music of lyre

Let heartbeats of joy write our song
In moods of kisses yearned for long

Let blushing cheeks welcome romance
Enchanting heart's seductive dance

Let winds of love ignite our flame
As night, ecstatic, croons your name

Beautiful poem Vijay, as for Sunshine Smile, on my end it says she has turned off comments and her soup mail is gone too. I was just concerned as to why, Since I cannot contact her, I cannot ask her, but if you can, please make sure she's fine. Thanks.

"Falling In Love" and rising in beauty! The tone of your well crafted words is "enchanting the heart" of your reader and enabling a soul to ascend to a top level of artistry! An amazing rendition of your feel and gift! Dear Vijay, your work is both, cherished into my fave list and worthy of an outshining placement.. Happy New Year and warmest wishes.. My deepest regards and blessings.
