MINGLING SHADES OF LOVE

Faster heartbeats

Presence so sweet

Eyes so bright

The head so light:

The young love

Do something better

Things getting bitter

Love that hurts

Love not met:

The fading love

Love waiting on fate

Waiting for a date

Love without hate

But love too late:

Timid love

Love too physical

Love so typical

Love without focus

Is much hocus-pocus:

Empty love

The love that rises

In the event of crises

The love that heals

This love so real:

The strong love

Love so natural

Love so actual

Love not a must

Love that trusts:

The mature love

Love that shares

Love that cares

Love so available

Love undeniable:

Lovely love

The love that we are

And the colour so far

The love that flies

Over shades of miles:

Beyond love

The next edition of ALEWA,which is the fifth, is themed on "LOVE," with the tag line: "Verbal Intercourse."

It comes with a formula for the show: Verbal Intercourse + x = LOVE; Find x.]
