What Love!!

Cant describe the state of mind in which I wrote this poem

the love in the air will fly away,
in the eternal foolish waiting game we play,
i see no love standing forever,
what love are we talking about anyway?

the glimpse of golden sun rays,
in the beginning we displayed,
with love-lost eyes ready to caress,
each other in peaceful arrest,
will vanish like a stormy wave,
into the dry winter of lonely days,
I've seen the burning hearts making poetry,
finally tiring down to cold ashes.
like the free flying clouds of wonderful shapes,
disappearing into the sky in fractions of a second, 

the graciousness when we were fresh.
will turn into an ugly mess of give-and-takes,
of unrealistic hopes and exaggerated promises,
to hold hands for eternity as they quickly fade away,
along the vertical lines of misunderstanding,
that we thought communicated in silence,
when we touched each other and embraced,
the moment that took our breath away.

the love in the air will fly away,
in the eternal foolish waiting game we play,
i see no love standing forever,
what love are we talking about anyway?

like animals we are playing the same game,
looking for the best among the best,
to write the name of the one that can pretend,
to care us through our hardest days,
and be beside us through pleasure and pain,
even if the souls are no more connected.

fighting the futile battle in million ways,
the heart exhausts and falls astray,
when the beloved appears to betray,
sinking ships are those relationships,
that we try to make endless.

one face after another face,
we search for our soul-mate,
falling every time and falling into pieces,
we gather ourselves for another dismay,
misery after misery in every step,
we still train our hearts for the futile game,
writing songs of unfulfilled desires,
it the illusive warmth of the chilly air. 

the love in the air will fly away,
in the eternal foolish waiting game we play,
i see no love standing forever,
what love are we talking about anyway?

Awwwww, it does feel as if we are the pawns in someone else's game sometimes and that it is a cruel joke of searching for "the one"... that elusive "one" that we begin to feel doesn't exist... so many brilliant, moving lines in this piece.. the emotion in this piece is palpable and real... another amazing write... well done..

Our moods are as ephemeral as butterflies, but they keep returning every season to charm us.

[Sunya]

Yes they do :) and they are beautiful :D beauty is short lived like our moods sadly

The way you've penned it carries a sarcastic note on love.. the point of view is same here too. The rhetorical question you keep on asking.what is love anyway??- its a mirage in the desert of life giving us false hopes and disappearing when we go near it.. it is an allusion.your words are heartfelt. One of your best poems.i like the words coming from heart and i liked this a lot ;) keep writing

I think if you love someone, just a person you'l be lost in a desert but if the love is for every being around you, existence itself then you become an oasis in the desert :) thankyou Sophy for your words :)

Love is not always for a lover ;) its for your family friends and dear ones,your reason for living.. Just wanted to say- guys around here suck ;D.. ha :) agreed with your point

[Sunya]

Yea love isnt just for a lover..but love being complimented by ego aint love at all..its just being selfish and needy which is mostly the case between guys and gals..love between family and true frens are selfless :) haha guys around there? :p come for a visit..i am your neighbor lol ;)

[Sophy Freebirds]

[Sunya]
