    THE SEARCH!!!!


    ​

    The search started from early days
    At that innocent age, mother showering her love
    And being next to me always ….
    Felt that was LOVE!

     As I step into teens…..
    Bringing along with it, lovely crushes
    And the rosy blush on my cheeks
    Thought that was LOVE!

     The day I got married,
    And became one with my husband
    Bringing in untold warmth & security
    Imagined that was LOVE!

     As kids came with their gurgles & laughter
    And I shower my life on them
    Crying and laughing along with them
    Thinking that was LOVE

    Suddenly realized that these are not Love….
    Where is this four letter magic word?
    Has this flown out of the window?
    Is this real Love….?

     As I am at the cross roads
    And my mind taking a plunge inwardly…
    Blessed with solitude, I suddenly realize
    These are all phases of LOVE

     As I sat wondering
    Feeling wretched and pained
    At the realization that I
    Missed this beautiful feeling of LOVE

    Pained was I at this thought
    Tears threatened to fall
    As I had wasted my whole life
    Without knowing what LOVE is?

     Is it the feeling we shower on our dear ones
    Or our fellow human beings
    Or is it the feeling we have for our creator
    I am at a loss….

     But my turbulent mind peeks its head
    Saying this is not love…
    It is only expectations….
    Then what is LOVE?


    Had read that it is a divine feeling…
    And it does not have any expectation...
    Beautiful or ugly; Fair or dark
    Good or bad…It knows not

     My search continued…
    As I go about my daily mundane chores
    Trying to give as much as possible
    Thinking this is the love I am searching…..

     Alas! As I shower my love on all….
    I am being misconstrued as emotional
    Leaving me to wonder….
    Where did I go wrong again?

     But my search continues…
    As the truth still evades me
    And with a hope I dread on…..
    In the path of LOVE!!!

    Hai LS,

    Good Evening. A Loving LOVE poem in the evening. When the LOVE reciprocated that is the TRUE LOVE. Mother LOVE it is implied and always with her children. Husband love, children love should be reciprocated. LOVE is not a one way path.It should come in straight from the Heart. Do not search for LOVE. You are in this proud IL site. All the members in this site are loving each others sharing their views, posting comments etc., Without love will it happen?? Never.:)

    Lalitha, the poem is likely to haunt my mind and of course it'll haunt every sensitive being. As the search goes on in every human mind. I am now tempted to think that we will live so long as the search continues. The moment we find love our life will end. And our life will also end when we think we can't find it.
    A great poem Laliltha. Hats off to you. It's almost like seeing you metamphorposizing into a poetess. It's all your HM's grace

    Dear Sree,

    Thanks a lot for opening the account here. Yes I am in IL for the past three years boring people:hide:. A mother loving her kids or a wife loving her husband is very natural. But somewhere I feel love is beyond relationship...you see a stranger who might even have back stabbed you, in that situation would I be able to love him.... what would be my feeling then...these thoughts brought out this poem....Hence the search is ON dear...

    Dear SK,

    Thanks dear for honouring me with your visit. If you really found it lovely, I am blessed. As being a novice I was not sure of getting this accepted but I know my friends here, they will miss all the shortcomings out of their love for me...

    Your last statement made my day dear....

    Dear Sridhar,

    Thanks for gracing this thread with your august presence.

    Your words make me feel that this a wonderful creation but I know where it stands. To be frank with you, this poem came out of a personal experience... Was very hurt and was feeling very low on a friend's misunderstanding and this came out as a vent for me.

    I know it is not only HM's grace but also the love & affection showered on me by my dear friends here... Hope this continues so that I can bore you people more. :-D
