The Thread of Love
The thread of love
Sprawled here, there, everywhere
Like an all embracing poetic flair
Weaving the destiny of love!
The paths of the pathfinders intertwined
Alongside the love threads
The hearts effortlessly aligned
The thorns yielded to the blossoming rose beds!
The tapestry of love
Knit countless placid dreams,
The far-flung artless streams
Into a sea of love!
The sea spoke of prayers and promises
It bore the breath of wild reminisces
Calling to heed the voice of every breath
It embodied the tales of life and death!
Beholding life and death
The waxing and waning breath
The threads brighten and pale
I let love prevail!
Love did prevail
Alchemising the barren into a blooming dale;
Mirroring the scintillating Riviera
The poetry heralded the dawn of a new era!
Imbued in the folklore
The saga of sea and shore,
The beloved and lover,
A poet penned, “Love is now and forever!”
