Love Is Pain

 Love is pain… 

                        
The love is light, delight if you have it, awesome flight.
No kiss or touch you need; all that you need is your sight.
When you look, all the look will be the kiss and your touch.
All tomorrows will be your one and only tonight.


Being enslaved to my love and soul until when?
My heart always demands to control until when? 
Once if I find a knife, I will cut him in pieces.
Hope I have strength to hide him in a hole until when?


I'd rather live and not have any pain in my heart.
Why do I need the heart when nobody shares its part?
Regret that life is passing everybody so so fast.
If you don’t need the love out of the heart, pain will start.


What is this heart that has four different chambers in?
One is for love, the rest pain; it’s always has been. 
If I'll be born again, I want to have no more heart,
I do not mind muscle, bone, and live in my skin. 


The love that hurts is not love; it’s a painful burn.
If you survive the pain, you definitely will learn.
Let me have pain again. I want to burn one more time, 
What a nice pain it is, I positively return.

"The chambers of Love"! mysterious as they are! Undefined width and depth! Capable of a wealth of experience.. of an abandance of sentiments.. when unchained of the grip of reason, it is that uncontrollable flow! To be under that spell is to fall into a life of core, meaning, beauty, growth.. a journey of inner insight.. rediscovering the self.. crossing lines to gain a deeper understanding and awareness.. in between a journey of "pain" I think it's Worth living! A great musing Pashang! A FAV.

Hello, My friend Besma, I thought you are a teacher, but you speak more like a psychologist doing psychoanalysis. Thank you for analyzing my work both painting and my poem. To me, love is an altruistic feeling that always comes with some degree of pain and worries. A perfect love does not exist. Maybe, it is lucky not to fall in love...

It s a really deep poem about love,love can be the most beautiful thing, the best decision or the worse decision of life, it depends on circumstances, people say that we forget the first love but the truth is that we never forget it and in every new person look for the same qualities,the qualities that were in our first love,but every pain ends with happiness, at some point you ll have such a beautiful person that you ll forget your that love, good luck

Love that line about the four chambers. May the pains of love be outweighed by the blissful bits.

Your poem is deeply emotive Pashang. I feel your painful insights on love, like the moth's scorched wings, being drawn in and burned. Your painting is darkly beautiful, contemplative and symbolic of your pain. I love both, your poem and your painting...

Love is everything Pashang, it makes the world go round. Even though I love this wonderful poem of yours I cannot agree that Love is Pain. Your painting is divine, Haloo (I remember)....Maria

Very deep Pashang and I'd not be able to love without a heart. I love the picture it compliments the poem so well... like a moth to the flame and your wings get burned. I do enjoy your pictures you obviously love butterflies too I think this is my favourite picture of yours:-) :-) hugs Jan xx

I enjoyed your reflections on love in this poelm, Pashang. Excellent use of the heart's four chambers to show what love and pain are.

No pain no gain my friend Pashang. Without a heart you would miss out on the chance of love.
