THE DEPTH OF MY LOVE

THE DEPTH OF MY LOVE


Why ask me if I love you,
Or how much do I love?
All that you have got to do
Is, have a look above.

My love is vaster than sky.
The stars does it transcend.
And from there, eternally,
A message does it send.

Look at the rose, it has my
Love’s fragrance embedded.
Inhale the freshness of wind,
My love’s, through it, threaded.

To know how deep is my love,
Just look at the ocean.
That my love, too, is as deep,
Is my sincere notion.

Who gives me this strength, this depth,
This freshness and fragrance?
Look at the mirror, you’ll find
Him without a pretence.

If transformed into letters
My love will spell your name.
I’m sure my love will further,
My dear, enhance your fame.
