A Lesson of Love

Lessons in my life though I had learned many

But not the one that was more important than any

Still a lesson there was that I had never learned

It was that of love, which in my heart had never burned

 

A seemingly meaningless life I lived

In woods of loneliness I did dwell

Yes, my heart still lay in dark

For love had yet failed to make its mark

 

Then one day...

In this withered garden flowers of love did bloom

And wiped out all of my life's gloom

I met an angel who conquered my heart

And hence my journey with love did start

 

From then on...

My heart doesn't beat, it just chants her name

And my breath whispers the same

My soul, that I once owned, is now her's

Sublime love for her in my heart, now I do nurse

 

Oh lord!

I thank you for preaching me...

A lesson which I always wanted to learn

And giving me...

A treasure that I always craved to earn!
