Love
AS LOVE FLOWS
Long back full youth flourished abloom
Bud of love peeped through core of compassion
Folded petals yet to blossom,
on romantic aroma of passion.
Mr. Hesitant met Miss Shy.
Both liked each other but thought long to wait.
Wobbling time idly passing by.
to decide and approach to fix First Date?
Then, lovely red rose smiled to claim
bubbling blood to flood on quiet Miss Shy.
Mr. Hesitant not to blame.
Two eager hearts accepted social tie.
Days rolling on love and rapture
turning chapter of ancient history.
Couple unable to capture
amour forever, but reached expiry.
