The Magnificence of 
her “LOVE”

— POEM by

Tajalla Qureshi

— Recitation by
Helen Pletts

___________

Her aura heats with compassionate fire;

Melting fears, with love’s delicate desire;

Gentle compels, she engages, through the admires;

Weaving threads of pair, repair, and soft care;

Tender amorous, only in her embrace, all are deeply fair;

Dwells down, the one ever-lasting forgets, yet it’s rare;

Beyond the mountain lines, she sensibly signs the right;

Athena like the aroma, in heaven-like eyes, when she sights;

Altogether a mound of magnificence binds in a pack;

Rare in rare, she magnetizes the melodies, unveiling the track;

Her aura like Hera whispers until the edge.

….
