Pangs Of Love ( Valentine Poem)



Pangs of Love


I feel pangs of Love
Piercing into me, soothing me to ecstasy
Crushing my body, breaking my bones
I want to escape, but feel paralysed
I lie motionless, gasping for breath

You say love is happiness and ecstasy
I feel love as sad and agonizing
Sound of foot steps, stolen looks
What do they give? Agony or ecstasy

A pat on the shoulders cannot alleviate my pain
So you raise your hands to wipe my tears
But you are helpless, motionless –
What can you do? Only gaze into my eyes.

I feel it a miracle, you beside me
Chanting words of consolation
But can any words quench the burning fire of passion?
Or bring back to me my battered life?

Not a face that launched a thousand ships
But a face that betrays a shattered self
Trying to keep alive in the midst troubles
Facing you with a borrowed smile.

Nor have you any romantic charm
How do we come under the spell
That could raise me to another world
That could make me drunk and lost.

Not for the moist print of your lips
Nor for the mark of teeth or nail
But for what? I do not know
Thrilled, I sit in front of you.

I feel my path strewn with flowers
To welcome me to a whole new world
With the weight of your living presence
I feel myself born again.

You ask not my comfort, nor I yours
We are apart, we are near
But how, again, I do not know
Do we share our joy or sorrow?

Keep your ear on my chest
I will hug and hold you tight
To make you listen to my heart
Pounding for you on my sleepless nights.

These words are from my bleeding heart
Not for your stroking hand on my hair
Nor for the panting breath on my neck
But for the showering bliss of love.

'With the weight of your living presence I feel myself born again'. Love allows new springs of life in us.... it is rejuvenating.... it is at once an ache and a joy! The poem mirrors a complex state of mind... of agony and ecstasy.... of paralysis and new spurt of life... Enjoyed! !
