But I Know Poem by Amitava Sur

But I Know

Rating: 4.7


I not know exactly
How much I love you,
But I know that in no way
I can't be without you.

Cannot think, cannot sink,
Neither I can deal without you.
Can advise, can think for others
But cannot do any good of me without you

This much only I know and can say,
Simply in an unbiased way
That I loved you, love you and I will -
Go on loving you.

Though I not know exactly,
Why do I love you,
But I know that in no way
I cannot be without you.

Love is an enigma. It is ever a puzzling question when there are thousand others, may be more beautiful, more intelligent or more kind, why the beloved holds all attention and life seems meaningless without him/her.A fine poem expressing a lover's heart where true love sparkles.

Why do you love her? Why you cannot live without her? How do you show your love to her? You must have liked her before you started loving him? No? Tell us what is so special about her? Can you tell how you feel with her? You use the word love 5 times in your 4 stanza poem. The more you use it, the more love you have for her, is that the way you think. You cannot sink. What does it mean? No other word to rhyme with think? What dealings you are doing that she is not dispensable? What do you advise? Tell us something more. Love poetry is not easy to write. Just few rhyming words and keep on saying love you love you does not make a poem worth reading. Do you read any good poetry? I see you have quiet a few admirers. Perhaps they can help you with critical comments. Is it your time pass (as they say in India!) ? Tell me what love poems have you read except the poems posted here by the members who also say the same: I love you, Iove you I cannot live without you.... There are so many bollywood Indian songs Can you translate some of them into English to show how song writers express love in lyrics? Not criticising you or your love poem, just trying to tell you that you can do a much better job if you ponder over some of the questions I asked and incorporate your answers in you next poem(s) . Good luck. Have fun.

Though I not know exactly, Why do I love you, But I know that in no way I cannot be without you..........these lines show the depth of love of a person like you. The immense and fathomless love doesn't allow separation of two hearts. Beautifully crafted poem shared amazingly. Thank u dear Sur for sharing this here.
