I was walking sans any companion
Out of blue, inadvertently, you came
Surprisingly, my life’s stark journey
All the more glum and lonely became
It’s a queer paradox, I need to solve,
That the serendipity that should cheer me,
Is, instead, making me rather morose
Why it’s so, while you are near me
Love is a beautiful and bewitching enigma
It, sometimes, creates a complex confusion
By giving pain and pleasure, simultaneously,
To cry and laugh for no rhyme and reason
It leaves a bitter – sweet taste in the mouth
No one can deny that it’s really delicious
And the gossamer web it spins around us,
Makes life worth living and ambitious
