WHEN WICK OF LIFE IS LIT BY LOVE

 

When wick of life is lit by love,

Eyes sparkle like stars above,

Making spirit shine like gemstone,

So radiant that none had ever known.

No bar or obstacle between hearts,

As love clears all malice from thoughts,

Hearts make rainbow out of love's ray,

When drenched in drizzle of joy night & day.

Like an oasis that blooms in wilderness,

Love enthralls to dissolve all life's bitterness,

In commonest faces made of human clay,

Love crafts beauty in wondrous way.
