Love's Tapestry

By Aishat Sanusi 

Love, a tapestry of starlight, threads of gold,

Woven tight with laughter, stories untold.

A flicker in the storm, a whispered rhyme,

A teardrop's gentle strength, transcending time.

Like vines that twine around a weathered oak,

Unseen, yet holding fast, through sun and smoke.

A fragile bloom that braves the winter's chill,

Its beauty fierce, its will indomitable.

Love, a whispered promise, soft and low,

A burning ember, embers' gentle glow.

A roaring fire, consuming doubt and fear,

A constant flame, forever shining clear.

So hold it close, this love, in all its guise,

The gentle breeze, the tempest in your eyes.

For in its depths, both strength and solace lie,

The beating heart, the reason we never die.
