A lesson learnt!

by Amreen   Aug 30, 2011


Life indeed is a teacher,
It taught me a true lesson,
It broadened my perception of love,
which was hooked only to a special someone...

Even after I got my love,
I searched for its existence,
I searched for the joy,the bliss
which every love was experiencing...
I searched for love in the midst of broken promises,
I searched for love in the aura of
misunderstandings,
I searched for love in the walk down memory lane,
I searched for love in the arms of distrust,
I searched for love in the eyes of jealousy,
I searched for love in the heart of betrayal,
I searched for love in the shedding of tears for that
special someone,
I searched for love in the rains of loneliness...

I just kept searching for love,
I didn't found it anywhere,
This made me feel that
love has extinct...

But life showed me ways
which said
Love is everywhere,
It isn't about loving a person
And being with them,
It is a special feeling to be splurged
On all the tender beauties that surrounds us,
It is a gift of the Almighty,
which never makes us cry,
It rather rejoices us,
till our last breath is alive...

I found love in the lap of my motherhood,
I found love in the prayers for our creator,
I found love in the care of my father,
I found love on the shoulders of friends,
I found love in the serenity of nature,
I found love in the eyes of the aged,
I found love in the rhythms of music,
I found love in the smile of the feeble,
I found love in the hands that help the needy,
I found love in the kiss of the innocent,
I found love in the aroma of my motherland,
I found love in the bloodshed of martyrs for their
country...

Thus,Life preached me:
Love isn't any infatuation,
It isn't an obsession,
It isn't a business,
It isn't based on any condition...
Instead;
Love is as pure as truth,
It is naive as an infant,
It is beautiful as nature,
It is the seed of happiness...

    This poem is also really good, my favorite part was

    "I searched for love in the midst of broken promises,
    I searched for love in the aura of
    misunderstandings,
    I searched for love in the walk down memory lane,
    I searched for love in the arms of distrust,
    I searched for love in the eyes of jealousy,
    I searched for love in the heart of betrayal,
    I searched for love in the shedding of tears for that
    special someone,
    I searched for love in the rains of loneliness..."

    this is something many people can relate to and it has a lot of meaning. 5/5

    Nice, a good length.
    But it will be more helpful if it's separated into smaller stanzas. The reader will enjoy it more.
