Love Means Being Happy Poem by Savita Tyagi

Love Means Being Happy

Rating: 5.0


No one needs to ask what love is
You know it is there when you are
Happy with each other.

Love is expressed in many little ways.
It is a need and a blessing for mankind-
It becomes a habit when two hearts join.

Love is a can of soda on your sultry days
A touch of soft breeze on sweat-covered face
A burning of desire under wrinkled sheets
Sharing of a pillow and a whisper!
Are you asleep?

Love is quiet comfort with hearts align,
Or a bubbly laughter with beer and wine.
Love is also a heartache
That becomes an elusive dream.

Some say love is God
That I have no doubt about.
Both are as mysterious and of depth unknown
As any thing that you and I have ever known.

But for love there is one sure sign,
Unbreakable in good or bad times.
Love is a commitment of a heart and a soul.
Like an unforgettable line etched in a stone.

It's this commitment that you make tonight.
A commitment that you keep to each other.
In million ways your love will be attacked
Yet there will always be one reason to protect
It's the commitment that you make tonight.

For even when life seems like an illusion
Love's light will remove all your confusion.
Some day when you care for each other in old
Your love will still be a strong bond to hold..

Like a wilted rose
It will spread it's fragrance
Like a burning incense
Its aura will be in the ashes
Like a baby's sweet smile
In your memories it will shine.

POET'S NOTES ABOUT THE POEM
I wrote this poem to recite at the wedding of my Nephew. For the framework I used one of my old poem 'What is love' and edited and expended upon it for the marriage.

I don't think enough can be said about love. It is the purest, strongest and deepest of emotions. Who can really define love, yet we all know when it is not present. There is a void that nothing else can fill. When love is in our lives, no problem is insurmountable, no burden too heavy, no distance too far. Those who have not loved, have not lived. Yes, I too believe Love is God. What a wonderful poem, Savita, filled with beautiful sentiments that could only spill forth from a loving heart.
