Whispers of Love: A Poetic Inquiry
Published in

Someone come and tell me how,
How is it that one falls in love?
Why, when someone smiles at one,
One returns the smile anon?
Last night, to the mountain peak
Softly spoke the evening star;
Love, with flowing tears, spoke;
Beauty, in loud laughter, spoke;
And to me, in smiling eyes,
My beloved gently spoke-
Why does one the heart surrender?
How is it that one falls in love?
Why, when someone smiles at one,
One returns the smiles anon?
Eyes of Majnun, pleading, spoke;
Layla’s tears, streaming, spoke;
Youth in ecstasy spoke up;
Grief obsessed in silence spoke;
And to me, in smiling eyes, My beloved gently spoke –
Why does one the heart surrender?
How is it that one falls in love?
Why, when someone smiles at one,
One returns the smile anon?
