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 colors? Why I feel the wind whispering to me a new tale? Why do I feel this moment intoxicating? A strong current course 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? I close my eyes tight and let my heart open, Feeling the colors of love that paint me a chameleon. In me rises a rare vivaciousness, Igniting a new spark in my body and spirit and I awake, To find myself greeting each morn with a song!

Dear sweet valsa, this is beautiful and so touching how youv written in a very soulful manner! I love the question the end of every stanza, “ is this love” often when we are overwhelmed and struck by Cupids arrow, we do question this and feel all these emotions youv woven in such an engaging manner. I always feel a poem that questions and also love a poem that is descriptive flowing with stunning diction! The ending really stood out for me especially and your poem made my heart also skip a million beats! A fave it is. Congratulations on your well deserved win~

Hey Valsa, your poem beautifully captures the journey and overwhelming nature of love, especially in its initial stages. You seem to be swept up in a whirlwind of unfamiliar emotions and physical sensations, repeatedly questioning, "Is this what you call love?" This refrain ties the stanzas together and highlights the uncertainty and excitement that accompanies the speaker's new emotional experience.

In the final stanza, you embrace these changes, acknowledging the "colors of love" and the "rare vivaciousness" that now define them. The metaphor of love "paint[ing] me a chameleon" is particularly striking, as it suggests that love has transformed you into someone who adapts, shifts, and evolves in response to this powerful emotion. The concluding image of greeting "each morn with a song" leaves the reader with a sense of renewal, as though love has breathed new life into your existence.

I once knew that feeling. It's so intoxicating. I think your last four verses described it best. Loved the line about feeling like Narcissus! so cute.
