L for LOVE

Love’s like a white dove-

Flying across you.

Love’s like a nascent clove-

Blooming within you.

Love’s just the slightest move

That occurs only within.

Love’s like an endless desert-

Where mirages never flirt.

Love’s like the silence

That’s more eloquent than speech.

Love’s like the lightest feather

That doesn’t like to fall;

But flies as it desires-

Once hither once thither.

Love’s like an ocean

That’s too deep to gauge,

Love makes you the winner-

Winnin' over your rage.

Love’s like a cool breeze that takes off all your sweat,

Love’s like a raindrop that makes your soul feel wet.

Love’s like a well of honey-

Where one would like to fall,

Love’s like a friend with money-

Whom you can always call.

Love’s like a piece of paper-

Where anyone can write,

Love’s like a stunning wrapper-

Which wraps us all together,

Applying all its might.

Love’s like the sun that promises us with light,

Love’s like the moon that lights us even at night.

Love’s a feeling that’s taller than the tallest ceiling,

Love’s too long a word to have a proper meaning.

Love’s too contagious to be easily escaped,

Love’s so abstract that it can never be erased.

Love’s like an awesome dessert-

That makes your supper complete;

Love’s a gesture that sweeps you off your feet.
