Love

The greatest of all inventions 
The reason for the birth of many nations
The feeling of tranquil and passions
The bond in human relations

It exists to defy reasons
Continuously for incessant seasons
From antiquity it had arisen
Never to die both ever increasing

That of Romeo and Juliet fame
Titanic’s Jack died for the same
The reason why a princess marries a lame
So sweet, it’s more than a game

But alas! It brings horror and sorrow
As it knows not tomorrow
Knows not who’s right to follow
Makes one drop tears on one’s pillow

When a man loves, it is just a part of life
When a woman loves it takes all her strife
Non-reciprocation removes all her Jive
Reciprocation makes her world come alive
