They Ask Me What Is Love

they tell me what is love..and i just can not answer..how can you tell about feelings..that are so strange so all i do is remember her face..her presence..and then i say what comes to my mind..for thats is the best way i could tell about my love to you

they ask me what is love..how does it feel
i wonder at what they say..for its not a text to tell..how can you tell about feelings i myself hardly do understand
and all i do is ..i remeber you..your face..those looks  were made  for me
who sees no one but me..God how i loved those eyes..were made to see just me
when you come near..it feels so strange..like its not the same earth
the same life i used to know..and i feel so light in soul i could almost fly
i feel so much happiness i could never contain..how you do it ..i will never know
if i was in the deepest of blues ..with just a touch of your hand
with seeing that smile on your heavenly face..that smile will shine just for me
just you look at me ..into my eyes ,into my soul..i feel like in another world
and it feels like its just us..in some vast lonely lands
i see no other for you take over all my senses..i feel nothing but your presence
its like a bright light..some wonderful smell,some lovely sight.. i will never forget
i feel like i am newly birthed to this life
you own me ..how nice..i feel like a slave..you take control over me
  yet still i am so happy .. you own the whole of me
and i surrender my soul ..everything i own to you..you alone

Author's Note

This poem describes the feel of being in new love.....all ecstasy...all blindness...all worshiping a mortal. No boundaries of day and night..or dream or reality.
"when you come near..it feels so strange..like its not the same earth
the same life i used to know..and i feel so light in soul i could almost fly" Very true.

This is the loveliest love poem I have read for quite a while and an added
bonus that it was from you dear poet! You penned your emotions
so superbly, it left me catching my breath with its beauty.

Oh, more of these please, we need poetry that takes us beyond
this world to an enchanted realm, with memories of magical
feelings and emotions of "that mystery that is so hard to define"
and if we are lucky we get to experience once in a lifetime.

Moayad this was so beautiful!

You say yourself "How can love be described in words?" This is a wonderful attempt, and not even in your first language. Of course, some of the most wonderful love poetry comes in the Arab tongues. Oh that we "westerners" (and knowing your feelings, I use that expression only in a sense of location) could use Arabic as well as you use our language. We would understand so much more.
Your strong emotions come through clearly in this piece, as they do in all your fine writinng,
God Bless you,
John

sounds like love, blue!
how love makes us tremble
and blind to all others.
Lovely :)

ooooh, I love this! You are a masterful story teller of love! And, if you felt emotions this strong, you should have had to tell.........so glad you have as it is our pleasure! I hope you continue to feel such love, such love... my favorite line is........"I feel like your slave!" - total commitment!
Excellent!

In the language of Love, no words are required. Love is an immense essence far greater than any lexicon.
Raw emotion that spring from the very soul, much like this lovely write.
