Love...

"Arushi"

"Some say love it is a river 
that drowns the tender reed ...
Some say love it is a razer 
that leaves your soul to bleed ...

Some say love it is a hunger,
an endless aching need... 
I say love it is a flower 
and only a small seed...


Just remember in the winter
far beneath the bitter snows
lies the seed ,
that with the sun's love
in the spring
becomes the rose..." _ Bette

    Lovely and uplifting words, Arushi! Like a seed love needs to be nurtured to grow but can ultimately turn into something beautiful.

    i like the metaphor of love as a seed, with the right care it will grow...but even after it is matured it still needs that kind of love to keep it alive....smiles.

      P.S. Truly, Arushi, you should only share original work I know this song! You can get in trouble for passing off others' writing as your own - especially when it is undoubtedly copyrighted material. I'd remove this post, if I were you. Sorry to be the bearer of bad news.

    I don't see the quotes nor the documentation to back up your borrowing here. Please fix that now.
    We sing this song in gatherings, Arushi.

    I am de-linking your poem, Arushi. You just can't plagiarize and claim other people's words as your own.
