Is This What You Call Love? Poem by Valsa George
Is This What You Call Love?
What has happened to me of late
The sound of falling footsteps behind
Sends all my senses on a strike
Leaving me with thunderous pounding of the heart
My mind then buzzes with thoughts and I go dizzy
Why this happens to me every now and then
Is this what you call love?
Why I nurse the aura of a beautiful dream
Why I see the Earth wearing new colours
Why I feel the wind whispering to me a new tale
Why do I feel this moment intoxicating
A strong current courses through my arteries
Never have I felt like this before
Is this what you call love?
Lately I run to the mirror more often
Am I becoming another Narcissus,
Getting drowned in my own image
Why do I become so choosy in my dress
Why do I look around to see if anyone has seen me smiling to myself
I wonder what has happened to me these days
Is this what you call love?
Why do I see stars on a bare ebony sky
Why I feel the night air indolently fragrant
Why sleep eludes me at the wee hours of the night
Making me sit delirious by the window
Hoping to catch the glimpse of a shadow
Why this happens night after night
Is this what you call love?
Why my mind wanders like an unattended kite
I grow excited, I grow restless
I grow impatient with time
Sometimes anxiety grips me
I sink and rise in the ocean of my moods
There is a visible change in me
Is this what you call love?
Love is the best feeling in the world. So confusing and painful, yet so certain and pleasing.. You have described the feeling to perfection Valsa ma'am.. I can feel everything there.. Beautiful poem!
It sounds like the reactions to chemicals associated with the feeling of love. You have little control and experience things differently. Well described, Valsa.
You have described the emotions of love so well along with the angst and questions that love brings...10
I am too old to remember all these, but I had great fun trying to imagine myself going through these emotions. Unfortunately I couldn't. So I will just take your word for it. Thanks Valsa for a few exciting moments.
Love and dreams! There is a visible change in me. Thanks for sharing this poem with us.
Emblematic state of people who are in love! Euphoric feelings in rush! Superb expression of state of love dear mam!
I'm echoing Nosheen: we both found the metaphor of the ocean sums up the all of the images of this first encounter with love. You know I have a sudden envy for those who believe in reincarnation because they can feel these wonders again and again. Your words have made the remembered experience so vivid, I almost feel light-headed as I type this. Your poem is a gift.
Love and associated emotions captured so beautifully in your poem.A teenager who first experiences these emotions does not realize that he has fallen in love.Stress, doubt, day dreaming, beauty consciousness are some emotions that the teenager experience at that stage.A nicely crafted poem, thanks for sharing.
