You reach love comes poem

 

“No! I shall never go back!
“Never shall I!
“I never shall go
“to that street again!”

Firm was his choice
and flawed was his fate.
Who could ever rejoice
standing on the heaven’s gate?

Tell me any single soul
unaffected by that Cupid’s bow;
show me that virgin heart
ever unpierced by his arrow;

“I know! Now I know!
“I know for sure what you mean.
“Time may be cold; love is serene…”

And he kisses her on forehead.
Embraces her.
She stands still
and their hearts are warmly wounded.
