THE MEANING OF LIFE

Perhaps, life needs your presence

In every twist of sentiment, lacking

Makes the persona as a vacant vial,

Containing few drops of condensed

Breathing, habitual to feel you, love

Creates an innovative sense in life,

Blank dream touches to puberty, in

That seized moment, grows poetry!

Have had no control on my heart, I

Often search your reflection in the

Apparent splendor of nature, in the

Soaked roses, dew drop necklace of

Spider web, in the lean thrived twigs,

On the gazing silence of deer’s eye,

Sound of falling pale leaves inspires,

Found a charismatic field around me,

Life waits for you in the downy gloom

Near the dreamy rivulet, under the

Aged mahogany tree, moonlit shade,

The hushed night, unfolded shiny

Sky, dotted thin ivory clouds, slowly

Moving the milky, fourteenth night -

Moon, heart desires to keep the face

On your soft palms, this beautiful

Perception brings me near you, a

Sweet process of adoration grows

Day by day, love you in rampant way!
