Shades of Love

Love is pure; It can make Romeos and Juliets Sacrifice their lives On its alter. Sweet as honey,pure as dew, Love has untouched only a few. Love is strong; It can crystalize itself into Gigantic Tajmahals. Strong as a deserted lovers vengeance Still sweet as wild jasmin's fragrance. Love is beautiful; Yeah,but to a lover His love's object is most beautiful. Love can beautify a savage's heart Oh! love, where in history you haven't played a part? And love is blind; Love made Roman kings forget their duty They saw only the Egyptian queen's beauty. Love is blind,love is kind It contains the essence of human kind. But love is flexible; Yes dear,love is also very flexible Or tell me why The lover who saw greener pastures Told his lover "My love to you is as a brother's"? To some, love is measurable in terms of money Alas!love,glorified by poets many. Yet you will go on gluing the world Sung and praised by people like a bird !
