ThE BaLaNcE Your eyes brighten boulevard ho-hum Sweet music spreads beyond yonder valleys Flees all pain when beside you darling chum Its only love that your good heart carries Treasure trove of gentleness pleasing all Sprinkle happy smiles and pleasant surprise Mannequin of joy in spring and in fall Untarnished charm while the ocean dries Plumes of hate fly everywhere in air Cosmos delivers you gullible tag Only love in this bad world isn’t fair Hate pushes love to hoist its glorious flag Penchant for love grace the infinite sea Its nectar be served to well-deserved bee! ©Copyright Anulaxmi Nayak, 2016
