Poems of Love

Nature and Love    |•YOUR SPRING AND MY AUTUMNS•| You came in me, like blossoms of Spring, Bloom and colours around, with joys sürülen. Soothing breeze of love filled air, A new felt aura, touched my skin. My eyes, like Iris, brimmed in hope, My leaves of love, giggled when touched with soothing rays of moon. Sundry promises, distances nigh, Broke into pieces, when my autumns arrived. My gardens were bare, leaves of love, were left to dry. I smell now, approaching chrysanthemum sprawls, My soothing skin now, pricks and boils. ~You gave me autumns, eclipsing my days, Yet I love you still, as from dried blossoms, sprouted a seed of hope, With each reminiscence of yours, I found myself, relishing the spring In you. ~©𝓐𝓷𝓾𝓼𝓱 ✿ ('Anisha Das)

Falling down the stairs of hope, we are left pained. Pained, dejected...
