I sat down to think what I shall gift you
May be, your portrait
Made on a blank canvass with the rainbow
Reflecting your essence and glow
Or
May be, a heavenly drape
Made out of god’s own satin
To drape you, the Venus of Latin
Or
May be, a jewel
Made form the light of the stars
To adorn your visage and heal your scars
Or
May be, some chocolates
Made from devil’s own beans
For you to savor whenever you feel lean
But
I know what to give you
A song from the core of my heart
For you to listen and your soul to think
And for your eyes to see what slowly sinks.
p.s: Hey friends, sorry for this delay between posts. Hope you all are fine and haven't lost interest in my obscure blog. By the way I have also posted on my other blog, Limit is Limitless ... I think it should be a fun read.

"A song from the core of my heart For you to listen and your soul to think And for your eyes to see what slowly sinks."
B'ful gift!
Words make you think a thought. Music makes you feel a feeling. A song makes you feel a thought.
