Eyes of velvet night

Of creation

Prompt 167: Love

Thanks to Harshad Mehta of Space Within for this week's challenge, love.  Here is his beautiful poem:

LOVE

Like a fresh breeze,

Coming without any notice

and stoping without any,

It blossoms on its own.

With love around,

Celebration is on.

Heart gets wings and

Soul is content,

Sunrise and sunsets are more colourful,

Moon more charming

And fragrance in air enchanting.

It is His grace that visits you

No one has control over it.

When in love you trust totally

But love cannot be trusted to be there, always.

So tender……

Efforts to retain it are like holding back

Cool breeze that lift your spirits.

*

Lasting are

Marriages

Contracts

Relationships

Understandings……

Right efforts can keep it going

…..With cool breeze refreshing your heart often,

If you are

Open and Lucky.

Prompt 166: Border

Thanks to Gautami Tripathy of Rooted for this week's prompt, borders, and this poem:

in the gaps
you create fences
shouldn't it had been other way round?
who am I voice it aloud
I, who stand at the periphery?
You know I will jump right into it
stand in the midst
speak all I need to

"borders are so passe"
