Falling In Love
Sweet-nothings of lover cooing like dove
A poem lovely as falling in love
A mating fervor of a smitten glance
An indulgence of impending romance
Invigorating sight of dazzled eyes
Unspoken dialogue passions surmise
Emboldening zeal of ecstatic dream
Strumming lyrical, mellifluous theme
Elixir of life cheering beguiled hearts
In blazing vibes enamored love imparts
Bowing to love as emotions cajole
Falling in love writes a poem of soul
