  • My mum told me love is sweet ...

My mum told me love is sweet

My mum told me love is sweet
It never made sense to me
But now I’ve ran into it
Oh good Lord! It sweetens me
Though Its inanimate
Not seen, yet sees clearly like screen
My mouth can’t feel the licking
But it edulcorates
Mixed, milled, fried,
Dried, packed and packaged
Like chin-chin’s lineage
The joy of a bride
Leave not! The best of virtue
Lest my joy like rain
Stops and endues
Sorrow like sun’s harshness/pain
I met a beautiful cherub
Love kept us in a tube
A state of elated bliss
I was raptured by her kiss
Then descended on me
Is the feeling of paradise
What spell you cast on me
Thus I’m mercerised
Got hypnotized
Like the power of sorcery
When Pendragon is paralyzed
And he was saved by a good fairy
Now you are my good fairy
Whom for the sake of fate
Which made us merry
We thus copulate
Had we more chance
More time to live life
We would do away with strife
But life; soon end like a trance
Your potter is really
What tongue can’t tell
He created you ideally
Just like an angel
