Reposting one of my last years post. Still dear to me. Wish you all a very Happy Valentines Day.
Love is not in exotic flowers that
you expect once a year;
or the price tag on the exorbitant gift
that ohh… you hold so dear.
It’s a heady mix of magical moments….
When you were in the prime of youth,
madly in love with your prince;
felt reluctant and confused to admit,
and acknowledge the turmoil within.
You felt a gentle hand on your shoulder,
looked back in pleasant wonder;
to find your parent with a look that said,
Love is not a blunder.
That’s a hue of love….
The hand you grasped years ago,
amidst a roller coaster of hope and fear;
in the moments most sacred witness to your bond of love;
The magic had begun….
When your child was in pain,
and you spent a sleepless night cajoling him;
the young boy who slept like a log,
gently scoops him up and from the corner of his eyes,
gestures you to go back to sleep.
That’s a hue of love….
Your child has a tryst with fate,
viewing a loved one depart;
but one look at you and your pain,
and he lovingly offers to play his part.
His tiny hands wipe the tears,
streaming down your face;
your pain magically reduces,
and you are surprised by his grace.
That’s another hue of love….
Love is all accommodative,
expansive and enduring;
Welcome it with open arms,
enjoy its process of maturing.
It comes in a blast of colours,
not just shades of red;
Its magic lies in moments, not years,
it shows you the road ahead.
The road may not be smooth always,
It has a fair share of highs and lows;
But each moment is meant to readjust your view,
towards the loved ones you chose.
So mystical ❤️ 🌹
Looooooooooveeeeed it 😍
