Romantic
Being romantic is an innate nature in itself,
Like the smiling and laughing of an ethereal elf;
Natural as the very nature and true as the truth,
The romantic feeling has an out of the earthly youth!
Wake my darling! With a cup of coffee in the morning?
Surprise her with a little gift prompt and no forewarning?
A hug with a cocktail of long lingering love and lust?
What can one not do to make romantic feelings robust?
Sages, emperors, petty kings, princes, paupers, or poets,
Who, once in life, has not felt the romantic love-duet?
If the mighty and wealthy in romance great nations roam,
Won't the poor, with simple gestures, share this feeling at home?
Pouring rains of passions on sweetheart on Valentine Day,
Then cause drought and chill and hunger of love! What spouse would stay?
The romantic feeling should flow fluent and guileless pure,
The vows and oaths made should be, as the sun and moon, so sure!
Romantic feeling, in itself, is a priceless treasure,
Living in it, constantly, can grand heavenly pleasure;
Times may change into thousands of hours, days, weeks, months, and years,
A drop of romantic love can quench the thirsts of eras...
