LOVE SO AKIN TO NATURE

        Our love so akin to nature:

       every salient feature

       Its heights,

       soaring high up like the skies

       Its depths,

       the deepest of the deep seas

       Its measure,

       as much as the countless stars

       Its fragrance,

       more than that of blooming flowers

       Its melody,

       enthralling like a rippling brook

       Its serenity,

       enchanting like a mountain peak

       Its purity,

       white as the pristine snow

       Its lure,

       mysterious as the moonlight glow

       Its colour,

       has the radiance of a rainbow

       Its beauty,

       appealing like a baby just born

       Its presence,

       ethereal like dew drops at dawn

       But you know -

       Our love is wildly uncertain too:

       Choppy as the oceans blue,

       Fierce than a fiery forest,

       Stirring up like an angry hornet,

       Agonizing like earthquake tremors,

       Striking with lightening fervors,

       Erupting like a volcanic storm, 

       Hurting like some prickly thorn,

       Albeit, followed by a soothing calm

       flowing like a gentle breeze,

       A dream so serene

       bringing blissful peace,

       Love that hath neither rhyme nor reason

       like every alternating season,

       Endless and everlasting

       as the waves set in motion,

       Priceless as the eternal time

       is this love or some heinous crime?

       A wonder of wonders

       such a love is ours,

       So akin to nature

       every salient feature!
