A Lyrical Ode to Love: A Poetic Exploration

Shalini’s poem uses swan metaphors to symbolise love’s essence, highlighting harmony, passion, and beauty. The soulful eyes and divine fragrance evoke profound emotion, exclusively for Different Truths.

The two ethereal swans
unblemished white, pure
in a sublime choreography
of love’s eternal dance!
A slow waltz, swaying, on the rhythm
of heart’s joyous, pulsating beat!
Soulful eyes locked in each other
in a language of passionate embrace!
Their very essence transformed
Into a fragrance of Love Divine.
Each step a lyrical brilliance -
a poem in grace and elegance,
a song of unparalleled beauty!
Ballet of such rapturous synchronicity!
I watch you glide with perfect ease
Such ecstasy, one soul, two bodies...
To love is to go beyond oneself
into meadows of everlasting bliss!
Where nothing remains, only love!
