So Swift



Love is nothing but a constant sense of sacrifice
 It comes from paradise and costs double price
 Taking it as animal spirit people take it as slice
 It is virtue of the heaven not from hell just a vice

 It is not a commodity which is sold on a shop
 A virtue makes your head chop or takes to top
 It is dawned on soul to pacify it drop by drop
 Like a seed in the land of heart brings pure crop

 Love when dawned on a saint he got lunar spill
 He said love would be seen in three days as bill
 First day he was cut in to pieces to prove his skill
 Next day was burnt in to ashes to cater for drill

 His ashes were thrown on a river to pacify as a gift
 Love is nothing but a relation of good and bad's rift
 If you have a pure heart go and dare to sift and drift
 It travels with speed of light in seconds it is so swift
