BROKEN WATER POT

BROKEN WATER POT Cold and refreshing I drank From the pot Water of pure love Unembellished It quenched my taste And of many too Earthen pot Of love and life Filled and overflowing With spring of life Covered in shaded corner Erroneously broken Wasted the content away

You are right

Writing is a wonderful therapy. Instead of quarreling, it takes the pains slowly away. Thank you.

True love...

True love comes freely and when it fades, it should also be allowed to go freely, if not, it may destroy the good memory and turns it into bitterness. we should always appreciate that which was good. Thanks. T.
