On A May Day...


Love so gratifying, love so profound.
Love at its height, love, I found.
It was the season, it was May.
Air spoke of Love, it was raining every day.
Stars didn’t come, they went out to romance.
Clouds sheltered them, showing their stance.
Morning schemed passion, evening, on fire.
Sensed like everything brimmed with desire.
Should I say or else keep quiet?
For my man will laugh at my plight.
It happened in summers, I loudly say.
I fell in Love on a May day!

Love needs no reason and no season.  However, this poem is dedicated to all those who found their love in the month of May, as I did.

  2. Love is beautiful, I read
    'Love' and its beauty on 'Words'!
    On a rainy day, I read
    'Love', 'Romance', 'Passion' and 'Desire'
    painted by 'Words' on 'Words'!
    It happens only here, I write
    and say,'I fell in love with this beautiful poem Saru!'

    Someone is Special

  3. Awesome.....
    True,Love needs no reason no season,it just happens.It is so addictive that you cant come out of it that easily.Tjose feelings are difficult to express and you have written it so beautifully that it just took me to those days when I felt that passion for someone special.....my husband.
    There is magic in these words.Once again its awesome.Good work.

  10. "Stars didn’t come, they went out to romance.
    Clouds sheltered them, showing their stance."

    My favorite lines. So beautiful and romantic. It reminded me of your earlier poems, "I'm in Love" and "13, Cambridge Street". So much so that I went back and read them again. Amazed as always, Saru. :)

    Hopefully love happens to someone like me as well, very soon. :)

  14. 'Love' is a beautiful and noble feeling that can change any heart with its touch and you just wrote a equally beautiful poem on this beautiful feeling. Every word of this poem touched my heart.
    Cheers to you Saru . . .
