Early Love Poem by Nosheen Irfan

Early Love

Rating: 4.5


Early love was fresh and new
It carried dreams in eyes
And faith in smile
Rosy, smooth and bright
Its face was flawless as a child's
I basked in its gentle sunlight
And swam in its mild streams
Its doors were open wide
Its windows let in the light
Now its bones creak, its knees hobble
It can hardly stand on its feet
Inside it a wilderness has grown
Verdure eaten by undergrowth
Nothing remains but the ruins
Of what was once a temple
Love is no different, a slave of Time
Like all things on this earth
A victim of the Laws Divine
Immortal as the human flesh
Ephemeral as the touch of joy
Blooms and wilts without its will
Often before it has had its fill.

The poet has beautifully expressed the delicate feelings associated with teenage love. But the dream did not last long and the things come to a pass where they have turned sour subsequently. This is a wonderful poem by all means. Thank you Nosheen.

Nausheen, I think love is never faded away. With the changing time it reacts in a different style. When we were two my wife's love was entirely for me. With the passage of time it was shared by my children and grand children. Think on the word My even if she loves my grandchildren more than me, my ego is satisfied because I exist in my children and grandchildren. You have nicely described the pains of changes that you felt with the moving time. It's a lovely poem.
