Such Is Love

60 Comments

The silence was golden,
the heart was at peace,
my world was beautiful,
no one existed to implore or beseech

And then you came in
there was chaos,
relentless restlessness,
imploding yearning
and perturbed anxiety
my world turned upside down

Some called it madness
few named it as insanity
others labeled me as a lost soul
and the remaining wrote me off
but despite such atrocities
I called it love

For in chaos there was a calamity
the restlessness had some purpose
the yearning yielded verses
the anxiety showed me a path beyond

such is love
you lose everything
yet you soar like a dove

  1. Veru beaitiful as they say in hindi”हम अकेले ही अच्छे थे…… आप कहां से मिल गए।”😊

  14. Love opens the vaults of our heart not known to us. Sure you found verses in anxiety and yearnings in restlessness. Marvelous writing enjoyed it very much Shantanu. Well done!

  17. I don’t think one ever live fully if he/she hasn’t experience to love. Such a complex word, but worth it.

    Beautiful write Shantanu.

  22. Very transparent and beautifully written. “Such is Love,” it takes both value the relationship and be willing to work at it with diligence and patience. Both must be committed to be all in 💜. Stay encouraged..🙏💕💜
