The secret of love
 
The secret of love is love itself…….
as it exudes a fragrance,
however hidden it may be……..!
It gives out as a flicker of light behind the eyes;
a smile suppressed behind the lips;
a caress on your throbbing wound;
a caring word, soothing your woes, 
 a loving grasp of your finger tight…….
And you cannot miss it, if it is there!
 
I have a strange encounter with love; 
 its memory still mesmerizes me, 
 though long years have passed……
 
 After a critical operation
 and five days in ventilator, 
 the moment when my husband recognized me
 with swollen eyes, bandaged head
 and unsteady words….
 I then knew what love is…….
 It’s a spring in the heart, 
 which sometimes wells up in the eyes…. 
 and a feeling beyond words………….!
