What is love?
It is sweet like an angelic red rose,
But it will prick you with its thorn,
Till you are in a pleasurable pain.
What is love?
It is the swing candle in a dark room,
A ray of sunshine on a cloudy day,
Which saves you from solitude.
What is love?
A sweet symphony amidst a cacophony,
A whisp of cool breeze on a sultry hot day,
Which calms you when you are dejected.
These metaphors don’t make sense,
And neither does a bond lacking love.
God, take me on a beautiful path,
Scattered with the flowers of affection.
Love at its peak gives you your life,
But, love at its worst snatches it away.
Wait, love at its worst is meaningless,
As it cannot be termed as "love"
Love is like a photo album,
Everything reminds you of him.
Those stolen glances, those eye contacts,
When love was like a budding flower.
Love cannot be framed in words,
Not even Sonnet 116 could achieve it,
Neither did I, nor did any other poet,
It is a feeling, not a phrase.
Love is the most powerful source to exist,
Capable to bring the strongest to their knees,
Capable to make a tough person cry,
Capable to melt a person with a heart like dry ice.
What is love?
Indescribable in its very own being.
The next omnipresent substance after God,
Which exists everywhere, unless killed by hatred.
How do I even sum it all up,
It is next to impossible.
God, take me to a whole new world,
Where every ounce of the surrounding is filled with love.
This was my third poem. Honestly, I have no idea if my poems are that good. Please be frank with your opinions about my poems and let me know in the comments. Please! 😊
