To Be Loved

They say, to be loved is wonderful To eyes it is brilliant like rainbow Like butterflies and blossoms colorful A breeze swirling like fragrance’s flow Like gardens where flowers blow Like balm to the hearts forlorn Sweet like honey, bright like star’s glow Like in cold the garments worn It is like the candles’ tongue that moths invite Like the bright stars that adorn the sky The burning flame that hearts ignite Like the blue horizon where swallows fly A melody from the heart’s string A blue lake with swimming swans A bow of roses where nightingales sing A fragrant valley where fireflies dance To a heart forlorn that is starved of love Life is like an endless desert’s thirst The pangs of anguish making life tough Souls bleed and wounds burst In my long life only apathy I know Life is only a ceaseless torment for me To find true love, tell me, where to go Hearts do not feel, eyes cannot see
