Love !

That evening, life was full..
Full to the brim...
One touch deep within..
Woke me up..
From slumber of years..!
That stirred my soul..
And Am still awake..
Years after that..
My eyes bereft of slumber..
Devoid of dreams...
Stares on nothing..
Oh if this is love..
Let none tread onto it..
It cheats, it lies..
True it is not..
Take a leaf, from my book..
And breathe awhile...
Love not ... love none...
It only kills.. !
