On request here is the first poem from Armaan to Jassi

Souring high over wilderness

Dancing among stars and shines,

Never did I see the wind

Blowing that speck of dust on me...

But just a speck, it wasn't...

Never did I feel that

The dust was a tiny seed of Love...

She started to grow like a wine,

A journey from my toenails,

She grew and grew and grew

Slowly towards my tresses anew...

Gripping my heart in her tender hands

Clouding my mind in sweet essence...

Entwining, engulfing, enriching.

Now, not a single cell in me is left

Where she isn't the nucleus...

All my smiles, all my laughs

And all the tears

Unshed, at the back of my eyes

Are just hers, only hers...

In rain or shine,

In sickness in health,

Even after death do us apart,

For ever and some more

I am hers, only hers,

My Destiny...

The second one from Jassi to Armaan which is selected for publication...

It couldn't have burnt be thus

It wouldn't have burnt me thus

If you had swooped like a vulture

Rather perching like a sparrow...

If you had stung like a poison ivy

Rather shining like the morning glory...

If you had torn like the hounding foes

Rather singing friendly tunes...

It wouldn't have burnt me thus...

Yet still in this inky dark

I could spot a dawn, a spark...

When the sky lightens with

The Rising of the Phoenix

I will up and fly again

From the depths of my own ashes...

wow!! wonderful poems alien_visitor!! congrats & good luck!👍🏼
