L’ Amour In The Heart!

“L’ Amour”

I saw you

And asked to borrow

A second

Then you gave me

Eternity!

I keep you

In this small-sized

Blood pumping,

Ego boasting,

Fear palpitating,

Desire yearning,

Love craving place

That we call “Heart”!

I’ve been away

For so many years

But in my heart

My love for you

Never swayed.

You are

A masterpiece

Still a work in progress

At the same time

I love you fully

For nothing and everything.

I think of

Every word

I wrote

And realised

I have so much

More to say

When it comes

To the love

I have for you.
