The tidings are delivered – to and fro
connecting the yearning hearts – secretly though
hard to know, what goes inside one’s heart
smile on outside – ah! such a deceiving art
Why love when it gives only pain – why gladly go insane
Perplexed I asked, is it a curse or boon?
The alchemy of love – whispered moon.

Ah – love – so many different ways to look at it. A curse or a boom? Now that IS the question.
