SELFLESS LOVE

From the very first day his love was so
All for her & the rest? Oh! No!
His love bloomed by the minute
It grew so vast
It reached the universe’s last

Endless, powerful, deep are just words
‘Selfless’ was what his true love was!

His sun rose with her
His night fell with her
All her smiles were worth all his whiles
All her tears ignited his fears

And then the storm clouds appear
Hovering around the one he held so dear
He stopped her steps faltering towards death
He gave her life, he gave her breath

His nights grew darker
But he made her days brighter
And one of those nights he gave a miss
His beautiful maiden was swooped away with a kiss

He cracked & shattered & broke down
But all he received was a deep frown
The hand that he held, now slipped as he fell
Tears rolling everywhere causing a swell

But yet he kneeled for her to stand
Being there for her, being her friend
His tears & smiles merged for her
All for her & the rest? Oh! No!

Endless, powerful, deep was his love
But ‘selfless’ was what his true love was!
