by Ehsan Sehgal
Love is the feeling of truth
In which
The spirit of God lives
It is the path of fair people
They do not cheat
They do not seal the heart
They do not make
The false promise of love
They give joy to others
It is their practice
They drink tears of pain
And then keep smiling
That is their way
They give their life
They do not take life
They make themselves broken
They do not break others
At the sad, silent and dark nights
With their witnessing tears
They search and collect
The pieces of their whole existence
For repeatedly let be that broken.
