WHAT IS LOVE?.

                              Love is a Rose, they said

                             That springs from the stem of the heart.

                            It perfumes the mother plant.


                             And charms the eyes, the hearts of others.

                             Those were the days of lyrical romance.

                             Now, Love is a DEVI
                             That eats the heart from where it has sprung.

                          

          Dr.Puttaparthi Narayanacharya (1914-1990)    in his poetry 'Leaves in the wind'
