Love or Expectations

Is it love or expectation...?

Love is life, love is death, 

With each beat, it steals our breath. 

Love can heal, love can scratch,

 A tender touch, a lover's match.

Love can surprise, love can scare, 

In its depths, we're left aware. 

Love can be heaven, love can be hell, 

A rollercoaster ride we know so well.

Yet, it's not love, but exceptions we see, 

For love is something more, eternally.

 It transcends time, it knows no end, 

A bond that hearts forever mend.

So let us embrace this gift divine,

 In love's embrace, our souls align.

 For in the tapestry of life's connection, 

                       Love remains our eternal affection.

Author's Note

It's only expectations that hurts..! Love is finding your happiness in your beloved one's. And accepting them as they are.

The flame of sheer wisdom, Soyam 🔥

Your virtuous words speak unto the purest dreams of our souls.
May we never lose the desire to realize the wondrous gift of pure love, where expectations of our eyes, minds, and conditionings are shed, so that we able to discern only the miracle of perfection that stands before us … the twin to every hope and treasure we'll ever want or need, blinding us to the allure of any other.
I cannot help but wonder if everyone doesn't yearn for the innocent, unlimited, unsullied ability to completely love and adore they once possessed as children … I know I sometimes miss it so much my every fiber aches.
Hah! Listen to me pontificate when my review is supposed to be about you and your poem … yet, I guess that's what splendidly wrought, deeply meaningful poetry does.
I love your title, artwork, rhythm, flow, and skilled perfection of natural-feeling rhymes. Your vivid imagery and metaphorical impact strikes in perfect accord with the essence of your wonderfully rendered message … sorry, but no critique is to be had from me on this one.

It's a shame what living and learning steals from us, but it cannot take away our desire and primal instinct to love without expectations and conditions.
Beautiful poeming, Poetess … love it! ⁓ Richard🖌

Your words made my days.... thanks for your kind words... that's too kind of you... I'm glad you loved it so much.

It's my pleasure. And I'm glad too that you are able to understand the grace of love.

Sorry to know about your past... but it's life, and this I full of happenings only. We must learn to be happy with their memories and them too.

Thanks for the visit:)

Really nicely expressed piece Soyam. Yes, love transcends time. How beautifully put. Those expectations can ruin everything.

We forgot that nobody can love you the same way you do... love differs definitely and we hold dumb expectations.... and it results ruin I every aspect...

Thanks for reading:)

and too often what starts out as love...the mutual attraction...gets ruined when we try to change the other with our expectations and fantasies of perfect love...which does not really exist.
Love is life as you express, and it is very, very real...not some Aesop's fable.
Nicely rhymed piece, Soyam.

Perfect love never exists, but for you your beloved one is always perfect... I agree with you sir...
