LOUDER THAN A SCREAM: an acrostic



Louder than a scream can be,
Often, the sighs of heart.
Unknown to the lover they
Defile the course of love.

Entangled emotions are,
Rather than forgotten,
Twisted o’er and o’er again.
Hellish the mind becomes.

Although love pervades all world,
Not many revere it.
Almost mechanically
Seek pleasure, passion, all.

Children’s love is tender, yet,
Robust it is no doubt.
Entirely selfless it is
As compared to adults.

May I be a child again!
