Love Poem: Loyalty

Loyalty

The spring awaits the fragrant roses of you cheek to bloom
Let not the charm of your spirit be dampened by the gloom

The passion to conquer the sky of knowledge isn’t destined to die
Although caged, spread your wings, for one day you will fly

The rosebud’s smile is a delusion and not a show of love
Anticipating a romantic reunion the bee has danced enough

Love may be a boundless desert of anguish and pain
Yet my obstinate heart did not, from its pursuit refrain

Your inner-self has lighted it or injury sparked the flame
Leave your heart’s furnace alight; and your agony –tame

Once it flows in the sea of past nothing will ever return
Let me harness the waves of time –this art I crave to learn

Dropped once these invaluable pearls will turn into a dust
Hold them alight on your eyelashes even if cry you must

No matter what adversities you are called upon to face
For the triumph of vice, care not Yamin, and loyalty embrace
