A Poets Love Letter Poem by Abhay Vignesh Liginlal

A Poets Love Letter

Rating: 4.8


My love for you is a boundless ocean
But the world can only see drops of it,

My feelings about you flow incessantly
But the world can only know notions,

My thoughts about you are pure like nectar
But the world can only taste drops,

My hope is like the constant sea
But the world can know only a separate shore,

My dreams are all vastly coloured
But the world can only see seven colours,

My mind is flooded with memories about you
But the world can read only my poems,

My poems are strewn with endless emotions
But the world can read only a few lines,

My days have become eternal with your brief presence
Though the world will call it seconds.

Yes, I do like this poem isn't it great to have a love to be inspired? Do you think poets care for what the world see? What if a poet might want to convey own thoughts perfectly understood only to the ones that are intended for? am not a poet so I am just wondering..Even if the world read only half or too little, I still think is worth sharing..in this world there is so not enough love so please let me feel your poem as a little gift and let me be one from the 'world' to smile very happy as I fed myself one little dropp of love. Thank you for share,10

first of all thanks for sending message to me to comment on your creation.......coming to your poem as a whole it sounds simple and nice with good apt usage of words and is in the form of couplet. This poem makes me to read every time whenever I switch on my PC, it gives a feel good factor. Only one thing is unusual in this poem when it comes in case of love you should not compare yourself with this world because world is a third person to your love.......love should a personal feeling, a personal affair between you and your lady love, instead of comparing yourself with this world, you can compare yourself individually for e.g. I am a different guy altogether before and now i changed after this love life.I noticed that every line contains that world factor which you express in a way that my love is superior than this world, I view you differently which the world doesnt do it or unable to understand it.....This is usual in anybody's love as you are the only hero and it is obvious and even a mandatory point that you will take your lover in a different manner of approach and will give more importance than any body does in this world.......so this point of your comparison of your sincere love with this outside world is not convincable for me.....but otherwise its a good creation.....good luck buddy......

nice imagery...l like the irony of a 'boundless ocean' and the 'drops' that are perceived. Nice. AC PS....couldn't find the poem you invited me to read...'Bleeding Heart on a Looking Glass'? ? ?

This poem is very expressive. The world rarely understands the depth of feeling in the heart of the poet. Once in awhile when that connection is made, it is indeed special. An excellent write. Thanks Richard
