True Love

" The course of true love never did run smooth " - A Midsummer's Night’s Dream (Shakespeare)


                                      TRUE LOVE 

True love, magical, bewildering at times!
Red in colour when experience the passion,
Unraveling  a puzzling mystery of the heart
Ends often with heartbreaking sacrifice !

Love which can never be forgotten, never wiped out,
Often facing unimaginable despair and morbid grief,
Voice of wild youth can never be silenced with threats,
Emotions undying never crushed by misfortune!

Thank you. How confused were we when young, right, Anne-Lise? We made so many mistakes!!! Reading Shakespeare is an enlightening experience.
