Love is moral even without legal marriage, but marriage is immoral without love.
Ellen Key (1849–1926)
Unable are the Loved to die For Love is Immortality. * Emily Dickinson
I Love You
How do I begin? How do I express? These feelings, Burning and fiery; these emotions I have to conceal and hide How do I contain… The passion that so rages? How do I control… My intense desire to be held How do I stop… Tears that fall unchecked How do I say “I love You” Without the expression of touch! Do you understand when I say… That I love you so very much!
A million words don’t have the power, Of the love in an endearing touch Let my tender and loving hands Your sweet cheeks now gently trace Remember always my darling This warm feeling upon your face And understand it now The intense love for you it displays.
~*~ “Ali, Meri Dilbar Jaani, Mujhe tumse pyar hai bahut Sanam. Mere dard ko mitao, tum mere meet ho. Bin tere kuch nahin hai… Elga”
This goes so deep my heart explodes with this one, Elga. It is so good to read you again. Dare I say it, but your words always cut to the quick so deftly and yet artistically that I can barely bring myself to read on, lest another layer of my comfort blankets of defence is removed yet again. You are courageous and most honest and heart-searching of poets and I salute you. Your freely-expressed vulnerability always rocks me. TY for this, LOL Kate xx
A million words don’t have the power,
Of the love in an endearing touch
Let my tender and loving hands
Your sweet cheeks now gently trace
Remember always my darling
This warm feeling upon your face
And understand it now
The intense love for you it displays
Elga...wonderful write....very very passionate....love n luck...BHUWAN!!!
You have found a way to express what many feel but cannot put into words. This is a wonderful poetic offering complemented by the graphic image. Thank you for sharing this gift, Elga. Love and peace. Regis
This is a beautiful poem and picture, Elga. There is such frustration with language when there are no words to express what we feel. Excellent work!
Take care,
Sherry
Doesn't it just get you when you are a writer and still can not describe to your own satisfaction what your heart feels.
I know a love like this and I can never really express it fully with words.
I relate so well with this poem
I love your poem, didn't need the photos, could have stood on its own without the trappings. to find love and to give into it so completely is a wonderful thing. The quote by Ellen Key is one I have never heard. Say so much.
In the Whirlwind is a poetic storm that frees history from the cages of corruption and puts it in the hands of everyday people. Words are weaved into a new fashion statement that has nothing to do with runways but everything to do with projects!
