I Only Live To Love You

I only live to love you and be by your side
To burn in the flame of love's fire
Touch and feel your passion's fervor
Supping it to my heart's desire.

I only live to love you and be by your side
To feel your body's each breath and pulse
Peer into those glowing panther eyes
And jump into their depths on an impulse.

I only live to love you and be by your side
To feel like a babe in its mother's arms
To forget life's tumult and tussle
Safely cocooned from all gales and storms.

I only live to love you and be by your side
To bloom and blossom on your way
Like a mist jeweled red, red rose
Never to be cruelly plucked away.

I only live to love you and by your side
Like a crooning, brooding dove
My body snuggled close to you 
To be lost in the sonata of love!

Back with Huge congrats for this exquisite poem Valsa. I knew it was a winner when I first read it and I have been back a few more time to read it again. Well done. Valsa, while I have your attention, I was thinking, there must be so many wonderful places in India that we know little about. Would love to read yours and Vijay's poetry about them. Just a thought. <3

Thank you so much Wendy for your repeated visits to my my poem and your uplifting comments. Your suggestion, I shall try to take into account. There are no poems written about any place in India as such. Let me try.

The whole range of your verse, Valsa, is saturated with emotions that come out of your heart. A lovely poem on love! The soothing tenor was quite enjoyable. Because of love, we are able to weather numerous storms and continue to blossom throughout the span of time.
