I carry in my heart

I carry in my heart
an everlasting flower
which retains fragrance
its color, freshness
for time immortal
before I was born
to after I will die
your love that blooms
like a fresh flower
will remain as is
The petals will never
dry and turn pale
fragrance intact
with a smile that
comes from whole
self and not just lips

I carry in my heart
never ending desire
of the feeling of
your arms wrapped
around my neck
holding me tight
in that bear hug
never to let me go
to always hold me
tight in ever lasting
bear-hug of yours
that leaves your lingering
fragrance and essence
in me, in my heart
from now onwards
till time immemorial
