Throughout the whole poem, yes, I am deeply in love. I have found love and love has reached me. Thank you for sharing. Now, I will build my courage to embrace the love I found despite the pain, tears, and sorrow.

Dear lady that is so probing, declarative, yearning and accepting... Excellent work.

Liked everything to stanza to stanza 5. Then you loosened the knot, and succumb to the next dramatic level, which is not where you began. Are there two poems, here?

I go thru these same things myself and wind up exactly where you are.
So, Hi.

But what if poetry were only about extracting excellence from ourselves.
That would only be half a reason to write.

The only other reason to write is because we want to. So why would form elude us? Maybe because it is so much a part of us, and that's why we seek it within the form of language.

Are we not born with this language of Inner Speak?

I'll meet you here, on stanza 5.

I just got to a place of my own, I could see where I was going, and the language was clear. But when I was going there, things changed around . I lost the insight, and a new ending appeared.

But I guess this is where I began....

Love is always in the air as a fragrance lingers and we catch its smell. We feel its beauty and want more as we seek where did it come from as it stirrs our soul. Nice poem Shobana. Fememefeme

WELL Shobana this is so seductive, I had to write a silly little poem in response. Fortunately I am immune from lascivious thoughts, but I think this might be a cure for   rheumatics.
