Love Poetry: Surrender

by Syeda Haani
(Bartlett, IL, USA)

'Facing the truth,

Sometimes hard like guilt.

From the day,

I discovered

Falling stars could make wishes come true.

From the day,

My eyes beheld glistening light,

And my ears listened music of rain,

When it touches leaves and wind.

From the day,

I could feel whispering waves tickling my feet,

And slippery sand clench me from falling down,

From the day,

I started smiling

When nobody’s around,

From the day,

When Adam and Eve thought about making a relation

And God decided to create the world in the honor of appreciation,

That was the day,

I was fallen in love with you,

And still I love you....'
