Love

Love that curves with curving roads
Emerges on to shining meadows
And looks back for the message it delivers
To the dawn of fragile tomorrow. 

Love that sinks to deep valleys 
Often remembers the mountain peaks
Uncertain of the crossings today
Reminiscing joy of ethereal yesterday.

A romance of champagne and roses 
Aches for the meaning of excesses,
Having been to places of ardent treasure 
Love yearns for unassuming pleasure. 

A genuine love is never the glitter 
That shallow feelings randomly flutter, 
A true love eminently captivates
Sincere attraction of natural demeanor.
 
When a call of authenticity awakens
A musical echo reverberates the sound,
And the rhythm of melodic souls
Surrenders in embrace of tender hearts.
