By Shriya Bhardwaj
Love did not happen at first sight
It was born
With sparks flying in the brain
A twitching vein on the forehead
A wave of heat flowing from the ears to the cheeks,
making them plump and plush
A tingle in the stomach
A tiny heart beating faster than usual
With fragrant flowers blooming in the lungs
Love did not happen at first sight
It was born;
Love grew into a child
It was stubborn
It held onto two bodies and refused to let go
It was sweet
It glued them to a single soul
It was rhythmic
It synchronized their heartbeats
Enabling them to communicate telepathically
Love did not happen at first sight
It was born;
Love grew into an adult
It was bold
They stared into each other's eyes perpetually
It was affectionate
They held hands and leaned onto each other's shoulders
It was boundless
They could talk without being aware of the hour
It was neurotic
They danced to each other's hums
It was affectionate
They wrapped themselves in each other
Love did not happen at first sight
It was born;
Love never grew old
Love never perished
Love bloomed
Love is timeless
Love is raw
Love is juvenile
Love is alive.

Dearest Shriya, as I read and re- read your words, I’m amazed at their depth and symbolism. I look forward to more amazing intakes from you! Lots of love to my favourite cookie baker!
Too good & touching,like a mornings cool breeze experienced. Keep it up. May God bless you.
This poem touched me especially because not one word of it was superficial, it was all real and felt real when I read it. I could feel it all happening and it made me feel like I was falling in love all over again. Thanks for this poem Shiri :’)
These beautiful lines are so alive!!! Like a morning doze of chai….. Awakening and fresh !!! Lovely Shreya……??
I find this poetry really intriguing. I seriously did fall in love with the kind of personification of the emotion. It’s exquisite.
