The Lovem (Love Poem)

There are times when the wordsworth in me wakes up and I conjure up some poems. This poem was written by me long time ago. it might not be the best but it still conveys what I believe. Enjoy it


Walking through the woods one day,
I saw a sparrow flying happy and gay,
It wasn’t flying high enough although,
High enough to feel free in the air flow.


It was aware of the eagles flying above,
Trying to reach the same height somehow,
Unable to do so it got fatigued,
Confidence lost and moral ruined.


But flying was what it was meant to do,
And that was exactly what it pursued,
Not getting what you want doesn’t mean loosing heart,
Never forget your love even if you are apart.


What is love, people ask me,
Is it affection or a fantasy?
None, is usually my terse reply,
And people keep wondering what I imply.


Love is the steam I would imagine,
Which drives the life's engine,
It is the sole reason to live,
Your souls only motive.


When you stop loving, you stop living,
Try it once and you will start believing,
But beware love has its shortfalls,
You need to be strong and standing tall.


Tears are bound to flow,
Heartache is sure to follow,
The pain is very intense take care,
Let you not be caught in it unaware.


Yet love is a privilege gifted only to some,
Love is neither beautiful nor handsome,
Love does not look at the face or the voice,
What it falls for is the eyes and the heartbeat noise.


They say that love is a relation of give and take traditionally,
But consummate is the love that loves unconditionally,
Truly lucky are those who get love in return,
But virtuous are those who love without expectation.


True love is like a spring running down from hill,
Rocks and trees in the way not wavering its will,
Several obstacles trying to block its way,
But to the sea it reaches anyway.


When you love someone then learn to respect them,
Respect their commitment and don’t suspect them,
Don’t force your love on them as love is not a pact,
Forcing love breeds hatred infact.


When you love someone also love their defects,
You also have imperfections accept that fact,
The relationship might be turbulent take care,
But that is the part of the package "love" be aware.


There are times when you loose faith and troubles ascend,
When desolation grips you and panic transcends,
Just visualise the smiling face of that loved one,
Troubles will vanish and the ordeal will be gone.


Love should be like that fermented wine,
Which should blossom with time,
Fermented with moments spent together,
Surviving the pleasant and the harsh weather.

Never hate someone because they don’t love you,
Love them anyway if your love is true
Unconditional love is characteristic of only a few,
Only their love is as pure as the morning dew.


Fly sparrow fly, your spirits I admire,
You are my love in a bird's attire,
Even though you know what you are aiming for is a mirage,
Even though you don’t reach high, I salute your courage,
Don’t ever give up and never surrender,
You taught me something which I will always remember.
