Love Never Dies! Poem by Smrithi Padmakumar

When solace made me numb,
When shadows horrified,
I stifled,
My words stuttered!

But,
A light held my hand
And
Together,
We walked along the prairies,
We flied in the sky of colours!
And,
As time went by,
We found-
"Its love! "

(later)

Its in eyes,
Because,
I feel it in every glance!
Its in words,
Even when they darken,
I feel its smell!
Its in a mere touch,
I feel its warmth!
Its in deeds,
Not just as care;
Even the wait for hours,
The wail out of a quarrel,
The wink in a glimpse,
The woe from some words;
Every moment speaks!

Distance often kills,
But it deepens-
What is in mind!
A hundred moments of missing,
Bring a thousand feet depth!

Don't know what to define!
Being speechless
Is not just what I have!

Even when trifles
Bring the word ‘hate',
We know,
It later awakes,
‘more of love'!

Even when tears kill smiles,
We know,
What is the cure!
World around us
May be hollow!
But we know
What we are,
To each other!

Don't know where it ends,
But we know,
‘true love never ends! '
And i just know this,
The word which you gave and I took,
Will move us ‘forever'!
ETERNALLY!
Along the walks of life,
Because,
"Love never dies! "
