The Colour of Love

What is love?

That is so hard to explain,

It gives life a shove,

Sometimes pleasure and sometimes pain.

There are different colours of love,

Let us now check it out;

People are always excited when it is new love,

Day and night they want to explore more and more about,

Friend love is a kind of love,

Sharing and caring is its primary nature;

There is also the selfish kind of love,

Where one is more concerned about one's own future.

Love out of respect is also a kind of love,

It grows more and more with understanding;

There is also the parental love,

It comes along with birth and is a natural bonding.

The rarest kind of love is the selfless love,

More than oneself, one cares about the other;

The most common kind of love is to be 'In love'

One dreams to share their whole life with one another.

In life we will get to see different kinds of love,

But the most important thing is to understand the intensity of love;

Love is love and nothing is as precious as love,

The first step we need to take is love, love and love.

The Mysterious Valentine

I use to wonder all the time.....

Will I rise above all worries and one day shine?

Loving a person is not a crime,

But, it's hard to find the right person and ask "Will you be mine?"

I use to picture this in my dreams in every possible way,

When somebody asks me, I have only one thing to say;

Once we are bonded, nothing can part us away,

Will be the company of each other every night and day.

I wish his hair to be a bit long and straight,

Share his feelings with me whenever we are on a date;

He will be punctual and never make me wait,

This really sounds sweet as well as great.

I will be mesmerized by his intellectual,

Being jolly will be his nature and habitual;

He will crank up jokes to make me feel well,

His love and care for me will be real and perpetual.

My life will be cheerful and full of fun,

Life is long and it has only begun;

I am hopeful that I will be able to find the 'one'

And I will then shine bright just like the sun.

We will one day sit together and dine,

There will be no worries and everything will be fine;

I am dreaming crazy like I have drank wine,

But, I want this to be a true story of mine.

I don't know how will I figure out who will be  the one?

But, I know somewhere there will be someone;

When our eyes will meet one-on-one,

I will then realize that he is the 'one'.

 I will ask him 'Will you be my valentine?'

The answer from him will be 'Your partner for lifetime'

This fancy imagination of my mind will fade away with the passage of time,

Hope this becomes true one day with my "Mysterious Valentine".
