WHAT IS LOVE?

WHAT IS LOVE?


What is love? Is it giving
To wife birthday presents?
Offering a diamond ring
To show that he repents?

Is it slogging on the work,
Earning in overdrive?
So that her shopping habits
May continue to thrive?

Is it proclaiming for her
Love twenty times a day?
Or in praise of her beauty
Compliments always pay?

Is it satisfying in bed
Her every carnal wish?
Is it help in the kitchen
When she does make a dish?

All these are important but
At a level sublime,
Even more important is
Giving her enough time.

She wants he listen to her
Woes and aspirations,
Hopes and dreams as also her
Worries and frustrations.

These she wants to tell him with
A tear and gentle smile,
While they in each other’s arms
Relax a little while.

Woman needs to have always
A reassuring thought,
That her man loves her and is
Oblivious of her not.

She wants that if by some chance
Her faulty nature calls,
He won’t blame her but rather
Cover all her pitfalls.

Listen, men, if you can’t give
Time daily to your wife,
Why claim that you are indeed
Her partner for whole life?
