Each flower, each leaf
every prickly thorn
I lay at your feet
with the same emotion
and devotion
of a love celestial…
I know not to distinguish, my love
for I see no difference….
Fragrant multihued flowers,
leaves on which the dew is still fresh
or stark thorns that pierce to draw blood….
Offerings all,
from my heart to yours…

@sajeev kumar,
Welcome to Shail’s Nest and thank you. Yes, it is from my heart 🙂
Superb Shail..Simply superb. A fan of your poetry now!
@Preeti Shenoy,
Ohhh thanks 😀
Dear Shail…
This is gorgeous… in a way that I can only feel… 🙂 Gossamer soft, yet knifing in to that point where pain begins! Love is all of that. And you’ve brought that in so well! Loved it!
(Psst… am sorry I’m hardly around to read anything here 😦 )
@Usha,
The velvety softness of the petals and the jab of thorns both form offerings of love from me 🙂
It is nice to have you pop in now and then Usha! 🙂 Especially on my poetry posts!
Summed up what love is all about. Felt like one is watching it from far far above. Very beautiful.
@Writerzblock,
Yes, at least it’s summed for me 🙂 Thank you 🙂
Thank you! 😀 😀 😀
@Scorpria,
For…?? 🙂
@Shail,
ROFL! The title says “For you…”
Oh, you didn’t mean me, then? 😀
@Scorpria,
Like hell I meant you!! 😛 Hehehehe… For a moment I thought you meant to thank me for the words. The minute I posted the comment I realised what it was about. Tubelight (of old) take time to light up! 😆
@Shail, LOL !!!! Even I felt like saying Thank You, but looks like Priya has done that before me… 😉
@UmaS,
Lol, you too eh?? 😉
