A THIEF OF LOVE

Love has stepped into my world,

And now I am a thief.

I’m stealing minutes from your life,

 Though often they are brief.

At times I steal a loving glance,

Sometimes I steal a kiss.

And then I build my world of dreams,

A world of total bliss.

I want to steal the tears you have,

I want to take your grief.

I stole your heart; I stole your sleep,

I’ll always be your thief.

' I want to steal the tears you have, .. .. I want to take your grief. .. .. I stole your heart; I stole your sleep, .. .. I’ll always be your thief. '

Beautiful feelings plus great meter plus a warm font colour equals a wonderful poem for your love. Should be written on fine tissue and held with garlands of sweet scented flowers!

Thief in love... I liked this new idea. This prevailed long ago but only you were able to pen down... very nice words used. Just 1 suggestion, the word "complete bliss" sounds better than 'total' I guess... Still I am not sure, u must check over again. Well, the emotions put here are just amazing and wonderful!!! loved the entire scheme of 'stolen'... keep it up!!!
