STRAIGHT FROM THE HEART OF YOUR VALENTINE!
Oh! So simply compelling was your first sweet sight,
That clung to your Valentine’s rapt and gaping attention tight!
It was no less charming than that of a sprightly sprite,
That drenched him wet with your shower of Love and delight!
Oh! Your captivating look of a bait caught your Valentine straight,
Very few did ever haunt him to gloat his eyes so much till date!
Your mesmerizing glance did soak him from his bottom to height,
Yes, your shining glimpse did dispel the gloom of the darkest
night!
Your lovely and comely features bloomed like a fresh pink Rose,
The more he receded, the more that dragged him to come to your
close!
Your calm and staid composure crooned sweeter than a Nightingale,
Yes, your Wordsworth was spellbound in your deep and lush life’s
vale!
Your first sight, like a day light, was for your Valentine a rich
treasure,
Thank God! That sprang in his life like a Stream of perennial
pleasure!

ReplyDeleteOh Shankar ..this is a beautiful testament to the depth of your feelings for your beloved.....you are her Wordsworth....you are the poet of hearts....writing on myriad subjects with prowess and depth....knowledgeable about so many if life's difficulties... you spin tales in words that delight the heart and please the soul...you are gifted and masterful at taking the mundane and alchemizing it into something worthy of second looks....further reading....you write about love and honor... truth and diminishment and rightness and wrongness and pride and humility with deft ability that only a master bard could muster!
ReplyDeleteIt it a pleasure and honor to be counted among your avid readers who learn from you every time our eyes take in the beauty of your bounty....
