Barter
Sara Teasdale
Life has loveliness to sell,
All beautiful and splendid things,
Blue waves whitened on a cliff,
Soaring fire that sways and sings,
And children's faces looking up
Holding wonder like a cup.
Music like a curve of gold,
Scent of pine trees in the rain,
Eyes that love you, arms that hold,
And for your spirit's still delight,
Holy thoughts that star the night.
Spend all you have for loveliness,
Buy it and never count the cost;
For one white singing hour of peace
Count many a year of strife well lost,
And for a breath of ecstasy
Give all you have been, or could be.
A poem for you
Mahfuzul Haq Khan
Love is a name
of a river
of mountain
of flower
of tree
of sea
of a human
of home
Love is name
of everything
Bring that star to me
Tamoha Binte Siddiqui
You say you love me, honey.
But my love for you costs no money.
Bring me no diamonds please
My love sparkles a lot more.
Bring me no crystals, please
My love is even more pure.
Bring me no pearls either
My love is much more stronger.
If you think gold will cheer me
Then, sorry darling, you are wrong.
But, there's one thing you can do.
From my window, a star I see.
Shining so close, bright and blue.
I wondered if that's where we would meet.
Then I knew that the journey to it was far away.
For being spirits, passed through life is the only way.
And death is a high price to pay.
So, I decided to ask you a crazy favour.
To show you will love me forever
By bringing that star to me, if you please.
Bring that star to me, if you love me.
Bring that star to me.
Bring that star to me in my dreams.
