ALONE IN LOVE

For a contest

ALONE IN LOVE

Alone I sit on the middle stair...

Shocked by the news

That whistled from the depth of my heart

That I am in love..

 

Alone I sit on the sea shore..

Shocked by the awareness..

That I used to deny often..

That I can fall in love

 

Alone I walk in the campus

Shocked by the fact..

That I always deemed as fictitious..

That love can affect my exam grades..

 

Alone I walk in library

Shocked by the discovery of …

That unmatched with logics I trusted..

That a mind in love can not read science

 

Alone I genuflect before Jesus

Shocked by the truth

That I never knew before..

That a mind in love can not recite prayers

 

Alone I brood over Shakespeare

Shocked by what he once declared stoically..

That I never believed earlier..

That a man in love is a mad man!!!

 
Alone I walk towards my love

Confess the imbroglio I am in…

Confess the madness I am in..

Confess the embroilment I am caught in..

 

He smiles, he laughs..

He embraces me, kisses me..

In that charm I forget my imbroglio

I dive deeper, violently

Into the Shakespearean madness

Until reality around me fades..

 

“You can never move against nature..

Moving against nature…

Is the only madness…”

He whispers…!!!!

 

Desperately I stood as a witness

Of a dissolution of our madness

Into one single madness..

As if nobody can divide it

Into two…

Oh how true it is! Love can make the strongest person turn to insane mush. :) You've really captured the madness of love well. The only problem I had was the end. I was done with the embraces and kisses. I think after that the moment kinda fell away from the rest of the poem. Nonetheless, good work!!

Oh...why exactly do I love this poem so much right now...I am not sure lol. But I really love it!!! My favorite line is:
"That a mind in love can not read science"
