Wishes Come True
Love's flame burns late into the night
imbuing broken hearts with hope,
and the ability to cope.
A beacon of exquisite light
love completely envelops you,
and makes all your wishes come true.
Filling lonely hearts with delight
love dispels depression's gloom,
encouraging passion's bloom.
Within its aura, shining bright,
love unlocks locked hearts; it's the key
that sets imprisoned feelings free.
Love's smoldering embers ignite
setting smiles ablaze on your face,
as doubts vanish without a trace.
And suddenly, the world feels right;
love overwhelms your lonely heart
and offers you a brand-new start.
Love's flame burns late into the night,
a beacon of exquisite light
filling lonely hearts with delight.
Within its aura, shining bright
love's smoldering embers ignite,
and suddenly, the world feels right.
