Immortal Love

When you lie beside me Naked and Bare - With the warmth of my caresses Touching you everywhere... You'll feel the power of my Passionate Love - Melting away the icy coldness In your Persona - Igniting the effervescent Flame Of eternal love and endless passion Those raw desires of human emotion. Like the beautiful, bright candles of Diwali And the lovely, fragrant roses of Valentine Our love will sparkle and shine forever... With the misty fragrance of togetherness Like the lingering aroma of scented candles Which permeates the air and hangs on there... Long after the candles have flickered out. So may our love be eternal and effervescent Like the fragrant roses of Valentine And the sparkling candles of Diwali. For no matter - How many roses wither out, How many candles blow out, There is always the Valentine's Day And the Festival Diwali to celebrate. Every year, on a special day With more new roses, And more lovely candles. So the essence lives on... And the celebration too Just like we celebrate Love With all its highs and lows Loving ourselves... And loving the you in me And the me in you. Even if our life fizzles out - Like the withering roses And the melting candles Beyond life unto death, Beyond death, into after-life... Our love takes us on, and lives on Long after we are dead and gone. And the memories and the remnants Remain on this Blessed Earth - The fragments of our love and pain Inspiring others to carry on living and loving each other, Whatever be the weather... Be it the warm sunshine Or the stormy rain. Those memories, those remnants - In our letters, words and poems For others to read, relish and cherish And bless our souls... Maybe, with their wishes and prayers, We might become 'one' in heaven After shedding our dualities On this mortal earth - When our breathing bodies, die and perish.
