Young Love

Young love is a flame; very pretty, often very hot and fierce, but still only light and flickering.

The Blush of Red

There’s a blush for want, and a blush for shan’t,
And a blush for having done it;
There’s a blush for thought, and a blush for nought,
And a blush for just begun it.

– ‘O Blush Not So!’ by John Keats

Gurus of Peace

What are you waiting for another day another dawn
Somewhere we have to find a new way to peace
What are you waiting for another sign another call
Someday we have to find a new way to peace.

– Gurus of Peace; A R Rahman and Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan
