Of love and Life (Than Bauk)

Of love and Life

Entwined in gaze,
hopes rephrase words.
Love sways but stays...

    Hello Samia
    What a lovely little write based on (,maybe!) One of the great love affairs. I have always enjoyed that book and this is excellent.
    'love sways but stays' - that's wonderful

    Take care and all the best
