Love nothing more asks for

A love-filled inning love asks for, 
Not just wedding ring love asks for. 

Let eyes dive deep further to probe, 
No more than feeling love asks for. 

We all desire joys of our own, 
Who suffering in love asks for? 

Just a moment-long communion, 
What else a longing love asks for? 

Heart heaves for a mere glimpse of love, 
What else? Not a thing love asks for.
