Tints of Tender Devotion
Love’s gentle longing, moonbeams bright,
A tender whisper through the endless night.
Emotions aflame, like sunrise rays,
Passion’s fierce spirit, in fiery ways.
Her eyes, dark indigo, mysterious seas,
In love’s warm moments, maroon’s soft breeze.
Her kiss, regal purple, rich and bold,
Her gaze, soft pink, young love’s tale unfold.
Her scarf, celestial blue, a heavenly hue,
Her glance, eagle-sharp, with love anew.
Her soul, a vast valley, expansive and wide,
Her form, vibrant youth, gliding with pride.
We seek healing waters that also scorch,
Love’s paradox, a heart’s eternal search.
Her love, dear as Sindh’s homeland earth,
Restlessness, earthy, of love’s tender birth.
