Five Micropoems on Love by Jaipreet Grover

VALENTINE

You will be mine

In every Valentine

I promised her heart

With my “Love Sign!”

GIFT

Chocolates, gifts, and flowers

Gifts for all lovers

But my precious gift

Cosily resides

In your heart merrily!

LOVE RAIN

The month of love

Has come again

To make us drench

In the ”Love Rain”

With an amorous song 

In our youthful lane!

STONE Each stone Evinces its story Glitters to allure But the heart could see The rainbow of love In the presence of love stone Rose-Quartz! □

IN LOVE Drown in love With your love As deep as an ocean Sans your identity!

Five Micropoems on Love by Dr. Shailesh Gupta Veer

I AM MAN
I am illusion
She is truth
I am deception
She is reality
I am evanescent
She is eternal
I am nothing
She is everything
I am man
She is nature!!
BECAUSE
I am flying
I capture the wind
I create words and rhythm
from the breeze
You know...how?
Because
You're with me!
IN HER DREAMS
No Facebook
No Twitter
No WhatsApp
Everything seems pink and gleams
Today I am busy in her dreams!
SLEEPY NOW
We will talk to each other
We will blow up balloons
We will do a lot of things
I am sleepy now
Come into my dreams
I will wait...!
PARADISE
Yesterday meeting
Today shopping
Tomorrow sightseeing
Each moment with you
Feel, I'm in paradise!

Four Micropoems on Love by Debashree Basak

HAND IN HAND 
Smitten by your innate charm
I surrendered myself, 
looking into your eyes 
Heralding new beginnings, 
with promises of love
Hand in hand for eternity and beyond.
□ 
INTO THE SUNSET 
Let’s weave love in the tapestry of life
Nurturing hope, trust and loyalty
Treading the highs and lows, 
let’s walk into the sunset
Loving each other indubitably till our fag end.
I DO
The moonlit ebony sky celebrated our togetherness
In silence we communicated 
the language of love
The ambrosial zephyr caressed our bond
The entire cosmos reverberated 
as we muttered “I do.”
□ 
MYSTICAL FRAGRANCE 
Oh, dear Love, drench me with your hypnotic glow
Coddling my senses to feel your aura
Enamored by your mystical fragrance
I yearn to be with you 
forever and ever.

Five Micropoems on Love by Taghrid Bou Merhi

LOVE
And I have a lover in this world ,
When we talk my heart heals,
I flirt with him and the gardens revive,
He flirts with me
 and the sweetest fragrances spread!
□ 
LONGING
Behind the seas I have a lover,
With his love my heart beats,
My longing exploded and caught fire,
Whoever will blow out the flame 
of what can not be extinguished…!
OH HEART
What do you love about her?
My heart asks me,
I envision her, Oh heart,
The sun and the moon.
If you blamed me for what 
I am going through,
Oh heart, take my eyes 
and look with them, then you shall see!
REALITY
Your love is like music,
With it I soar from the bottom of my heart,
I feel you inside me as if you are my heartbeat,
And in my dreams 
I see you the most beautiful reality!
LOVE MADNESS
In the presence of longing,
I do not know what to classify my delusions,
When I feel your absence,
And I know that you are 
the only reason for all my madness!…

Three Micropoems by Adriana Claudia Rocha Gomez

The Drop of Ink
I heard you were awake,
after all this time
for you I still wait,
I did not know
you were the drop of ink
my poetry needs!
Moonlight
Like the moon
I possess 
a light,
that shines
at night!
Kiss
He kissed me 
Like that
Because -
He needed to know
I am his!

The Offsprings, a Micropoem by Jaipreet Grover

Fruits, flowers and leaves
Being the offsprings of the tree
Falls in the lap of Mother Earth
A tribute of gratitude
For the love and nourishment
Right from loving a seed!
