What is Love?
A four letter word comes from heart
Where faithfulness established from the start
I never imagine how it feels
When I found the person whom I can shared the reels
Then I wondered why and what really is?
The memories or language of love from this
I surrender to the genuine thoughtfulness
I divide my heart and open for forgiveness
Now it was still confusing the real meaning
Of love and how it can be dealt, too confusing
I just know that love is boundless and true
No one can ever give its exact value
Just love, feel it, share it and endure
This is the meaning of love when pure
Intentions, attentions, perfect combination
You and I can love, no buts, ifs or question
What is love, really—
a figment of hope
sharp enough to shatter
centuries of lived patriarchy?
To think
education could make a dent
in what’s already carved
in bone & name.
To think
a stranger could be chosen
over the familial veins of caste, of home
over the womb of belief one never questioned.
Perhaps what’s
whispered in secret
was always meant to be hidden—
buried, before it flowers into regret.
Does it even matter—
your thoughts,
these societal norms, yourself?
whether you’re religious, or not?
What really makes one unique,
when the future already beholds
what always has been,
and what will be?
Destiny.
to think one is different—
to think everyone
is just the same.
To think
all that ever transpired
got fizzled on a random night
that never belonged to me.
What is love, really? someone asked, and my mind flew
Like a bird through the sky of memories, through valleys of deep silence,
Trying to unravel a question like a riddle woven from stars,
For often we lament that life is a mist, an endless race,
Where time evaporates like morning dew in the sun's rays,
But love... it bends time, slows the clock like a slow waltz,
In the moonlight, it stretches seconds like silk gliding over skin,
Turns minutes into memories that shine like diamonds in the dark,
It is a flame that burns slowly, not a wild fire, but a constant light,
That warms the soul from deep within, it is in the silence between words,
In eyes that speak without sound, in hands that hold more than fingers,
They hold entire universes, and a promise of eternity without speaking it,
Love is where chaos transforms into harmony,
Where the heart breathes like a calm ocean, where even silence,
Becomes a symphony written just for you, it is not perfect,
Not always easy, but it is real, and in its presence,
Everything finds its place like stars in the clear night sky.
Original poem:
Tera hona jaise koi khwaab lgta hai
Koi puche ishq kya hai
To tu uska jawab lagta hai
Khoyi hu mai jisme
Tu wo khayaal lagta hai
Uljhi hu mai jisme
Tu wo sawaal lagta hai
Mai sochti hu Jo kahaniya
Tu uski kitaab lgta hai
Koi agr puche ishq kya hai to tu uska jawab lgta hai!!
Translation:
Your presence feels like a dream
If someone asks what is love,
You are my answer!
You are the thoughts
Where I am lost in
You are the question
I am entangled in
You are the book
Of stories that I think of
If someone asks
What is love
You are my answer!!
Love is the sound of your coffee brewing early in the morning
Love is Autumn leaves forming and falling on a brisk evening
Love is the warmth from the tea mug you savor before bed
Love is wrapping yourself in a towel after a hot bath
Love is flowers blossoming in your front yard garden
Love is switching out your bedsheets to feel refreshed
Love is all your accomplishments
Love is being able to say "I am here."
Love is reminiscing with old high school friends
Love is the sweet sound of your favorite instrument being played
Love is not always a person Love is the littlest things in life that make you smile
You are full of so much love
You are surrounded by love
So please, stop searching for a person to show you the word "love"
Instead, start looking in the mirror
You'll find all the love in the world there
And what is love then?
can you tell me my friend?
is it something I can find?
is it some sort of spell?
has it be seen by anyone?
does it live anywhere?
is it only for the chosen ones?
or for any mongrel on earth?
And what is love then?
I'm feeling a little bit lost
nobody can really explain
the meaning of that word
is it something to achieve?
is it something we can score?
is it some sort of mystery
that I need to solve?
And what is love then?
does it even exist?
or is is just a ghost
crying on the street
dragging heavy chains
calling for its kids
regretting every decision made
begging for mercy?
And what is love then?
come on give me a hand
is it a name carved on a tree
or a heart drawn on the sand?
is it what I feel for my kid?
is it what I felt for man?
or is it only a sweet mirage
and the biggest cruelest scam?
And what is love then?
I really want to know
does it live up high?
does it live down low?
did I drop it by accident?
and it's covered with snow?
do you really know about it?
or just like me... you're not sure at all?

Why do I love him? I don't know. I just love him.
What do I love about him? He takes care of his health naturally.
When did I start to love him? 24 April 2024
Only three digits: zero, two and four.
How deadly easy that was.
I loved someone in the past.
I ended up with a broken heart.
When can I tell you of my feelings for you?
I don't know, and I don't think so.
Does any one knows what love is?
It is something only the heart can tell.
Not even the logical brain can help.
Certainly, you do not love me.
You used words that hurt me deeply.
Goodbye my love, goodbye BB.
It was not intended to be.
It would go away easily.

Its connected to you...
Its a energy
Its a frequency
Its a vibration
Its a creation
Its the key through forgiveness and unconditional love.
love is osmosis
something absorbed
it creeps up on you
right through your pores
it can't be avoided
unless there is no contact
it generates heat...
and a yearning for contract
Love has moved mountains
love has dug depths
Love can pull you into a emotional wreck
A spiral up... a spiral down
the elevator underground
Love knows no bounds
Love knows no time
it continues on without reason or rhyme
Love can take you to the depths of your very soul
cradle you in comfort, be your end goal
and how do you turn it off that was your question I know?
I haven't a clue I am just a bard for you...
What is love? don't you know?
What is Love? don't you know? ohhhhh?
What is Love? don't you know?
Love has moved mountains
love has dug depths
Love can pull you into a emotional wreck
Love knows no bounds
Love knows no time
it continues on without reason or rhyme
Love can take you to the depths of your very soul
cradle you in comfort, be your end goal
What is love? don't you know?
What is Love? don't you know? ohhhhh?
What is Love? don't you know?
I wonder what is love,
Is it a lovely little dove
That is sent from above,
Bringing protection from the shove.
Is it my mom's warm embrace,
Or my dog's charming face,
Is it almighty's beautiful grace,
Or a peaceful little space.
Some would say it's an illusion,
For some, it's a solution,
Everyone has their own conclusion,
But they all say love is nothing but confusion.
To you love is just
a dream -to me love is all
I ever wanted
What is love,
What is love,
What is love?
Oh, won’t someone tell me,
What love is?
Is love kissing, kissing, kissing,
And hugging, hugging, hugging,
All the time anywhere and everywhere?
Is love spending time at a park,
Hiking on the trails
To a mountain top?
Is love going to the beach,
And swimming in the water?
What is love,
What is love,
What is love?
Oh, won’t someone tell me,
What love is?
Is love dancing,
Under the moonlight,
In the rain?
Is love working out,
at the gym together?
Is love spending every minute,
Together?
What is love,
What is love,
What is love?
Oh, wont someone tell me,
What love is?
Love is,
Having that special someone,
Who you want to spend,
The rest of your life with.
That is love,
That is love,
That is love.
What is love,
What is love,
What is love?
Oh, won’t someone tell me,
What love is?
Poison shot into our blood stream by cupids arrow
My wife and I are “tight as a glove”
Our wonderful years together answer “WHAT IS LOVE”
Love is twinkles in your eyes
Love is learning to be wise
Love is togetherness, love is us
Love is learning not to fuss
Love is intimacy and joy
Love is learning not to annoy
Love is compromise and space
Love is cutting to the chase
Love is happiness and smiles
Love is walking extra miles
Love is kindness to others
Love is treating people as sisters and brothers
Love is patience and understanding
Love is not to be demanding
Love is all of these things and more
