Love Poem: All Night

All Night

I was haunted all night by your memory
The moon sang its melody all night
At times glowing, at times dimming
The candle of grief flickered all night

A perfume kept changing its garments
A picture kept singing all night
The breeze stealing the scent of roses
Told many enchanting stories of our love

A hope bestowed solace to my heart
A craving agonised me all night
Travelling through the memory lane
I lived and died all night.
