Springing Love

April 15, 2023


My dear, spring has come,

nature is yet again youthful,

prettiest flowers are blooming,

and even the bees are singing.


The nights are peaceful,

I like these, even cuckoo does

cuckoo praises these nights

but in his own manner.


He tells all the secrets

secrets that only lovers can understand

secrets of youth, love and beyond

secrets of spring and springing love


Last night was cold and calm

and the cuckoo was sharing the secrets out loud

and here I share it with you


Love dwells in innocent hearts,

It dies with logic

love dwells in young hearts,

It dies with maturity.


It never matures,

It’s sole fate is death after youth

don’t let it mature,

don’t let it die.


That’s what he said

and then I imagined you


The uncanny countenance,

The smiling eyes

and the lips velvety

which speak sweetest when mute


A benevolent character,

and a witty mind

with an innocent heart

playful and happy


Your presence can’t match anything else


The peace that comes with you,

no night can offer that

The charm that you possess,

no spring can offer that


words become trivial,

when describing you

a single kiss of yours

can dash all the poetry.


My dear, spring has come.
