Notes About The Poem

"You can't blame gravity for falling in love", Albert Einstein

 

Love Me

Would you love me if I was not a poet, 
If my words did not flow, if I did not know it? 
If my verses did not dance, like leaves in the breeze, 
Would you still cherish me, just as you please?

In verses of love, I penned my dreams, 
My darling believed it was mere whimsical schemes, 
She urged me to clasp her tender hand, 
To feel love's enchantment, no need for poems' strands.

If I could not paint pictures with words on a page, 
If my stories did not ignite a creative blaze, 
If my heart did not bleed ink, with each heartfelt line, 
Would your love for me, like a star, still brightly shine?

In a world where love is found without poet or poem, 
Meeting of eyes sparks a radiant, eternal home, 
Smiles reach deep, their gentle art, 
I do not need to be a bard to secure your heart.

For beyond the words, beyond the poetic art, 
Resides a soul, a beating, loving heart, 
And though my verses may falter, my muse may depart,
My love for you, dear, will forever impart.

Lovely penning ! One needn't be a poet to keep love ablaze. If love is true and genuine, it doesn't seek affirmation through verse. So beautifully said, dear Jay
