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

these were sudden strong emotions ..i felt i had to tell

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.

I have felt this way before and you expressed the feeling quite well.
Love takes a strange hold on us all differently.

Great write!!! Thanks for sharing.

It's one of the few good things I have read one this site and I've been here for a year. I was about to give up hope and leave but now that i know there are some actually good writers on here and not just people scribbling down endings to books that they didn't like the end of maybe I'll stick around a while.

Yes I can feel your abliity to love and your talent in writing it down. When you reviewed my writing I could feel the love you are writing about now. When someone looks into my soul I am able to see into their soul also.

This is truly beautiful, truly.

Interesting! Depicts the heart of a man, deeply in love one should never take for granted.

[EmpressPoetess]

Very strong emotions, indeed, and you espressed them with true tenderness, and very vivid reality, so that the reader not only reads them, but feels them with you! One more word: Awesome!

[MagiCrystal]

OMG... You make me see the face of love ... your love is so pure.. every word.. touches the soul!

[emmajoy]

A beautiful poem of words expressing words that cannot be said, cannot be expressed, because nothing is the same as love - giving love, being loved.

But, to have loved is to have shared something unebelievably special; knowing you shared an inexplicable emotion stays inside your heart, your spirit, forever.

' 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 ' - YES! yes, just the touch of a hand fills a person with bliss, joy..

Wonderful writing!

You wrote a wonderful prosa poem, what to feel love for you means. It is surrender, what you desribe and get pleasure from loving someone else more than oneself, could it be? So this moment what you desribe, this eupheric happiness is this falling in love or being in love for a longer time? And are those 2 different feelings? And, how to keep this love once you 've fallen into it? Great, honest lovely words: Loved it!!

i love that line, -it's not the same earth- i like the idea of love taking people to new heights and new worlds.
