Poem Title:
Poem
I knew what love is from my mom, my first sensation Before I could grasp its meaning, I sensed that emotion I enjoyed it in breadth and depth as a babe from my mom She wiped away my aches with love’s soothing balm A mother’s love involves sacrifice and pain It is patient and persistent, never seeking any gain Come what may, nothing can take it away This many splendored miracle, shall always stay Often, like dew drops falling from above Or the warbling notes flowing out from the grove Love leaves the heart go upbeat in prosody Changing every sensation into rhapsody As beams of silver cast by the moon Or the cold touch of spray in the horrid heat of noon It soothes, embalms and thrills the heart Filling the void and leaving no dearth Love sublime, sure like a candle lit Consumes itself, and never dwindles a bit It dispels the gloom and dissipates the fright Invigorating the soul and healing every hurt As brilliance to stars, fragrance to flowers Music to flute or shade to bowers Love is to Man, freeing him from all sores Bestowing him the strength to meet all throes Love can never be occluded or beguiled Neither be stifled nor be veiled Love puts all other things into place And hems life with a lovely lace Love is all we seek and too scarce to find A magic thread by which hearts are bound Hark! It is love that makes the world spin around, And cures all the ills that surround Oh! Love thou virtues I will defend, Though seasons change and youth doth end! Lying limp with all my songs unsung I hope I'll live to love unbound. August.22.2022 The Meaning of Love Poetry Contest Sponsor- Anoucheka Gangabissoon
