WHAT  IS  LOVE?

What is love, I often ask
as pictures churn inside my heart,
a glow of warmth
that I feel around
as I sit and wait for lasting peace
while twisting with anxiety, I pine some more

Looking back to those days gone by
when stillness reigned in my soul
Not happy, merely unaware
like cattle waiting to be slaughtered for meat
munching on their last bale of hay
instinctively afraid yet not knowing what to fear.

Pining for pieces and chunks
from a dear one's days.
Moments stolen at random
impatienly with no room to steer
the evening glow far at the horizon
that turned out to be someone's house afire.

Love feels so nice, so warm and pure
what then is this yearning when she is not near
This kaleidoscope of human emotions
that breeds this consuming restlessness
and fleeting doubts that often appear
churning and twisting my soul, with this sense of foreboding fear

Yet as I clutch to your image that lives in me,
a part of me so sweet and happy
feels the sad happiness of a smile far away
as a wistful heart glows in the warmth of love
and as shadows embrace, a happy tear
flows down my cheek, making  a wish appear

I know not what I want, I feel both pain and glee
Heavens have mercy on me, I beg of Thee
let me have the strength that I need so now
as I try to move my faltering lips
and make a wish that would make my love
as happy as she deserves to be.

Perhaps later, in years to come, when future turns around for a look.
I may still find me here
and face my aching heart that I leave behind today
as tears would well up and then flow down my throat
a shred of music my soul might hear
as I see your happiness that started from somewhere here.
