Love Is a Nest of a Bird and Bug

Inside the nest of love 
Two chambers tucked together 
Side by side allowed to live
 Two opposite creatures 
In one, a bird of delight 
And a bug on the other

On its golden wings 
The bird takes a soaring flight 
After meeting the fancy stars 
Brings some azure delight
For lovers on her diamond beak 

On the other hand 
Nowhere goes the bug 
Sits tight at the corner of its camber 
And waits covertly to suck blood 

But lovers never know 
Whether they are bitten by the bug
As they remain under its strong anaesthesia  
Till enough blood is left in their heart.


In some rare cases
The nest morphed into a bud
Instead of blood
With the rays of purity
A few drops of dew is needed
To make it bloom
Into a flower
And it's anybody’s guess
How great is the grace
Of love!
