Albert Einstein 12 - When Love Blossoms Poem by Geeta Radhakrishna Menon

Albert Einstein 12 - When Love Blossoms

Rating: 5.0


When in love,
There are rainbow colours,
Springing and splashing,
The wondrous hues of joy,
Within your tender heart,
Like the kiss of scented breeze!

The trees look brighter and greener,
The birds sing the sweetest melodies,
The heart strings play a merry tune,
And the soul dances with wonder of love,
Life seems so awesome,
So beautiful and precious!

This was the case with Albert and Mileva,
So besotted and enamoured with each other.

In the leisure hours of the evening,
They sat together with few friends
Played music to their heart's content.
Albert played with his deft fingers,
Classical melody on his favourite violin,
While Mileva accompanied him on piano or tambura.

When they completed their final exam in college,
Among the five students in their batch,
Albert came fourth, passed his exam without any distinction,
While Mileva came fifth, last, unfortunately, failed too.
Depressed that she did not get her Diploma in physics,
She went back to her parent's house in Hungary.

But the love birds - Albert and Mileva,
Continued to remain devoted to each other.
Through passionate love letters, pining, yearning,
And growing even more fonder, when they lived apart.

POET'S NOTES ABOUT THE POEM
I love reading autobiographies and biographies. As a student in school and college, I enjoyed reading Gandhi ji's autobiography -" The story of my experiments with the Truth" . Based on his story, I wrote 50 poems on Mahatma Gandhi in Poem Hunter and later, published it as a book entitled - " Mahatma Gandhi - Simple Living High Thinking" . Now, I am thoroughly enjoying writing on Albert Einstein, based on many books published on his life and works. Last one year, I have been reading on his life. His quotes are exceptional and have quoted them in the last few poems on Albert Einstein. The love life of Albert Einstein is truly interesting and enigmatic. The passionate love letters written between Albert and mileva has been published as a book by a author named " In Albert's shadow -The life and letters of Mileva maric - Einstein's first wife" by Milan Popovic, Baltimore; Johns Hopkins University press,2003
