The Two Sides Of Love Poem by Alok Singhal

Our first sojourn….
Like the feel of the dew on a newly grown leaf
Tantalizing thoughts of a life like filled with psychedelic colors
Mesmerizing like the sound of love songs transcending directly from the song birds
The aura coming from a full moon
Or the soothing rays of the sun at dawn
The slight drowse coming from the first sip of wine
Or the cool breeze of gentle waves along the shore
The smell of jasmine and a budding rose
The dull pain of being apart
Heart skipping a beat
Sweet longing and the thrill in anticipation of seeing you

Our final goodbye....
Like the dead leaf that is swept away
A rainbow that never appears
Dreaded howling of wolves from afar
The vacuum…feeling of emptiness seeing the scorching desert sun
The dark of a moonless night
Hallowing sounds of the waves in a storm
Odor from a dead corpse
The mere thought of your absence
Or the grueling realization of not seeing you again
The misery of a broken heart
Painful wailing of an abandoned soul
The morbid fear of not seeing you again
