Some claim that love is above all things
Some claim that love's above all things; You walked through sorrow's sullen veil, The garden faded, flowers lost their might; And stream lamented; hazes began to fail, You left us dismayed afar in spring's delight. May be, spring's return to heart we couldn't trace, The world did part us in sorrow's sharp shade, And legs lingered to chase triumph’s race, Longing to relish sunshine more days fairly fade. For livelihood, the pain outshines love's plea, In hunger's grasp, what worth is love's embrace? Our wars for sustenance stole love’s glee, To heavenward steps’re rising with silent pace. Some claim that love's above all things; it’s true. Then why the delay, if it’s so, permit entry? © Poet Affaq
