Where Are You, My Love?

devashish-kumar Poems

*O Love, where are you? I've been looking for you everywhere. I looked for you in the gardens, Among the lovely plants And beautiful flowers. I looked for you in the rivers, Among the ever-expanding ripples And playful fishes. I looked for you in the mountains, Among the snow covered peaks And alpine trees. I looked for you in the beaches, Among the splashing waves And round stones. I looked for you in the deserts, Among the sand dunes And thorny bushes. I looked for you in the meadows, Among the grazing animals And green grass. I looked for you in the night sky Among the tiny sparkling stars And the crescent moon. I looked for you in the fires, Among the threatening flames And melting warmth. I looked for you in the books and movies, Among the heart-warming stories And timeless characters. But I found you nowhere. Why are you hiding from me, my Love? Aren't you looking for me, my Love?*
