Devoted

You say
‘I’m overwhelming’;
I don’t know
How to untangle this web of feelings …

You say,
‘Don’t be so hard on yourself;
I don’t know
How long these ache linger in my mind …

You say,
‘Deep breaths. Relax’;
I don’t know
Why my breath is fleeting and
My calm turns to fear and agony …

You say
‘Rein in your heart’;
I don’t know
What walls to build around my soul …

You say
‘Pain is inevitable’;
I don’t know
When these wounds will mend …

You say
‘I’m leaving soon;
I don’t know
Will our eyes meet ever! …

I only know
Amidst the shadows of doubt
This love remains pure …
Sanctifying me
Like a deity in devotion …

.

A deep and unwavering love may persists despite uncertainty or doubt. Even when surrounded by ‘shadows of doubt’, love remain untainted and pure. Love is both a source of strength and a spiritual experience with a sense of purity and sanctity …

What do you say about it?
Have you ever experienced such love?

  2. Love is so difficult to quantify. It’s a powerful emotion – probably the strongest emotion – yet it can also make us weak and vulnerable. It’s a motivator and can drive us to do both great and terrible things. It’s also life-sustaining, giving us light in the darkness, air when we are breathless, and light when all seems dark.

    I love the verse you wrote here. I think it captures all the different aspects of love.

    Wishing you and your loved ones a wonderful end to your week. 🙂

  5. we say a lot of things to people without considering how much they will obsess over it. I dont even talk to people anymore. My mind remains free of chatter clutter. lol 🙂 — actually, I do find love to be a wholesome emotion if one can find a good mutual person to exchange a bunch of shared emotional energies and life’s trials and triumphs. It can be quite rewarding. I have to admire couples who stay married for 60 yrs through thick and thin. That must be a very strong love that ties them perpetually through the years.
