Love Is

​ 

– your first poem to me

– the pride with which you introduce me as your woman

– the rebukes and corrections you give in love

– you telling me I’m the only family you have

– you grooming me into a woman of greater virtue and class

– the sweet messages I wake up to

– the intensity in your eyes when you say I love you

Love is you.

Try listing out the things you love about him or her………….
Did it require so much effort and pondering? If they don’t get to ten should you feel bad?…..is it a bad sign?

#TRY LISTING THE THINGS YOU LOVE ABOUT HIM OR HER

Evolving Love

​  

Through acts of love, rebukes

And huddles overcome

You can actually hold still

And hear us evolving

I did not love you like I do now

If you rewind a month away

I did not trust you like I do now

If you fast-back October

I did not believe in us like I do now

If you replay a season before

I never knew I would come to fall so

Desparately in love with you

And I wonder if papa knows the

Date for our wedding even before

We set it

And knows we need to go through

All this growth, and pain and beauty

Before our hearts and souls say I do

And knows the aftermath Experiences of our marriage that

A part of me dreads and a part of me

Looks forward to

That every day brings you closer

To knowing every one of my demons

And how I bruise and scar and cry

Ever too frequently

And how I forget things ever too easily

Scares me

Yet I can only but stare

And hope our love will survive it

And our strength will indeed

Build for us

A family with a heritage

That will resonate for years of posterity.

Relationships that survive the process of two strangers exposing their flaws to each other…misunderstandings caused by human nature and the huddles life itself throws at man is a sight to behold.

And in this century…for it to survive marriage and build a heritage is another miracle.

From hindsight it’s beautiful to watch the process of evolution……..indeed it’s interestingly beautiful.

#WOULD YOU DESCRIBE YOUR LOVE LIFE AS EVOLVING?

Let’s Circle Again

​

The adventure of unraveling

An interesting soul…

A personality that is able to do things

No other being can do to you

You come to find that

The gaze

Blush

Shudder

Of getting to know him…

As you two circle around each other

Is a thrill that can never be compared

To any other moment of history

You two shall share together…

When bones shall become old

And you’ve both made love in every

Possible Way

A decade after.

Contradictions

​ 

Serious and coy

Flirty and motherly

A man’s mind, a woman’s arms

Her delicate palms, her strong heart

She’s the woman who’s got my heart

With a cute tie on curvy hips

I watch her walk out of her office

Those long slender legs

Slid into my car and said ‘drive’

Her analytical brains

Prepared my financial budget

Able hands built our home

Soft lips

Eased tension from a life time of

Tensed muscles

Her softness

Cushioned my hardness

She changed my world

Sunlight in a dense forest

Rain on patched desert

She brought meaning to my life

Strict yet tender

Strong yet vulnerable

This is the woman I’m

In love with

And will forever be

We were meant to be.

What do men look for in a woman?……

Our Vows

I remember….

The first time I saw you

All you have always been

To which I’ve been blind to

That father saw….but I couldn’t see

A man of wisdom

A man with a soft heart

You wear perseverance

Like a tailor’s suit…..

You’re the emblem of patience

How sweet it is to know….

That I am with someone who came For me even when

He couldn’t yet see beauty….

But saw only my future….

Someone who will still find me Beautiful with stretch marks even as we age

The spirit that you bring

Refused to be quenched by my

Silly self and Childish attitudes

Staring at your soul…and beautiful

Spirit

That gives its all and calls me

Family; though i’m not blood.

There is where I fell in love

I fell!

I’m consumed!

I’m overwhelmed!

Did you know that I’m

crazy- overwhelmed!

I vow in marriage

That at times I’ll fail you

I vow

That at times I will fall short

But in failures and shortcomings

I won’t tap out

I won’t give up

To you and only you

Today I commit

To you and only you

I submit

I’ve learnt that he loved me

Enough to give me you

Even when I couldn’t see you

So I’m willing to stay strong

To the very end.

An Adventurous Night

 

Lying in your arms

In the stillness of the night

Sharing one breath

As our noses crush against

Each other

-The most beautiful moment

I had ever experienced with you

That it could last forever-

As Enrique played music making

Love to our ears

Highlighting and capturing the moment

Wrapping my young heart in sweet

love and bliss

Listening to your intermittent

Snore…

My thoughts run into the midnight air

Envisaging a life together…

Nights like these

If we would still spoon together

On marriage nights

When been in love

Has burned away

But who cares……….

That I have this moment is

All my beating heart can feel

That you are mine

Is the only thrill my mind can

Comprehend and handle now

And I hate that I have to spoil

The moment and

Wake you up

Before the cocks give their loudest

Crow

And mummy finds her girl

Lying in the arms of a man

In her own hall.

….”giggling”,………

# THE EARLY DAYS OF A RELATIONSHIP WHERE EVERY TOUCH MATTERS AND LYING IN HIS ARMS IS SUCH A BIG DEAL

Life

​

              

Life is

You and me beginning from scratch

Building with our hands

Your career and mine

In gloomy days…

With barely a light of hope

Till the sun rose over its bed

Then our eyes behold a new phase

Life is

You and me

Moving into a homely abode

Buying and managing

Warming virgin sheets

Budgeting our days and funds

As our love produces a little one

Life is

You and me

Nurturing dreams of sunshine

And laughter

Groomed kids in a mansion

Touching lives and making history

Till our stars are full of age

And our bodies have made love in

Every possible way.

                                17/6/15

                                Natasha- City

When you’re a child you dream of marrying a prince and going straight into a mansion on your wedding day….

…..Not a flat or an apartment.

But life is life. I still love you and I’m actually giddish and excited about building this mansion together with you………our kids would be so proud of us. And I’d be so proud of myself when I look back at what we built with our hands.

# FACING REALITY
# TOUGH LOVE

Love Blossoms

​

I was wrong 

Love is beautiful

So………..bEaUtIfUl

It’s just so difficult to achieve

Nurture

Tend to

Grow

But when you get there

It’s the most beautiful sunset ever!

When you get there

Your smile will stretch unending

You would have found in him

Or her

A friend who sticks closer than

A brother

Those painful

Necessary moments

When he had to hurt you

To make you better

And you had to hurt him

To make him better

Will now all be worth it

Coz love really is pain

Blissful only to the receiver

And that’s why there is nothing

Better than…

To love and be

Loved in return.

Coz when the lovers both

Love unselfishly…unconditionally

Then LoVe will be going

All angles

Equity of the pain…and unmeasurable joy

Then you’ll know the fullness of love!

                                    25/11/2014

When I got to the end of watching the series ‘Nikita’…then I knew the fullness of love. And I was amazed! Used to think love was only pain.

Love is Only the beginning

I’m glad our story scripted this way

That we decided

Individually

Then committed

In spite of the odds

Then grew in fondness and respect

Till we tripped

And fell in love

Didn’t think I ever would

Or

You ever would

Was prepared to settle in

Philia love

Forget about Eros and Storge

But we’re here now

And it’s dizzy

My heart can’t go a day without

Hearing your voice

And you would fight all the odds

To still pick me up at work

Just so we can see each other

Engage in mundane conversations

And laughter

And the bliss of our young hearts

I’m glad we’re here now

But love is the only the beginning

We would need all to come to play

As we face this maddening

World together

Philia, Eros and Storge will

Have to hold hands

And Respect will have to

Marry Commitment

For the Oceans will rise

And test  our vows

And our passions will

Burn out as the children demand

Our life’s devotion

And trials slap us

And life greets us, “Welcome”

But we must

We must find each other

At the end of the day

And realize we are more

Than lovers

We are more than siblings

You are my world

And I am your life

Bone of my bone

Flesh of my flesh

And you can’t do away

With that

Except death parts us.
