TELLIN ME!!


"Love is healing."-Telling me!

The squabbles and fights happen
In the ordinariness of ‘living’
The ‘fizz’ goes down at times,
Not every day can be aerated!
The story gets told many times over…

I rant and rage at my erring husband
A tear falls
An ache twists
An unease slides along the innards
I moan   lament   grumble  sigh!
Does he hear me sigh?

I wait for hours
before I let him come close…
I think about a world 
          without a loving husband and I cringe.
He's the anchor of my life--
Only in his arms my seasons sprout
the leaves fall; things happen
.....the mists of old age gently rise. 
Touch wood!

O my heart!
….so what, if his heartbeat seems calmer today
so what, if the eagerness looks diminished now
People in love do behave differently
Pleasure of getting upset is there
Only if….someone cares, persuades…

Tears leave no marks
Sometimes just cover the face
Pecking, picking, quarrelling…
Are all part of marriage game.
Disagreement and love
                within the hearts are legitimate
They help healing...balance harmony in life
So, let us
LOVE-TO-LIV

  2. Love itself is a bit of a rollercoaster. And there is healing and hurting in it. But together it is easier to face the trials and challenges. If you really passionately are in love, there will be conflict. But the healing can be a very special time as well.

    1. I am thinking, how can we define the difference between love and obsession– and also what we consider to be normal behaviour?
      I have always thought there is a very fine line there....Thanks for reading, x.

  3. "Let us Love to Live"! Beautifully narrated and played out here for all to see that the quarrel becomes part of the harmony!

    I particularly love this:
    "Pleasure of getting upset is there
    Only if….someone cares, persuades… "

  4. Yes, we all do these things, don't we? So long as you allow the love to heal the situation afterwards!

    1. Yes, it happens all the time...and we keep pointing fingers at others, to claim a pedestal. My relationship means I have an ally and confidant - someone I can trust to help with my troubles and listen to my worries....hence, healing comes naturally.
      So pleased you liked this... thanks for the visit, Rosemary... :))

  5. Perhaps love is about knowing that no matter the squabbles and the tears the other person will still be there...a wonderfully honest and insightful poem

    1. Absolutely, Jae! Understanding is most important is these relationships...healthy love is strengthened by the willingness to understand. Love without understanding normally wilts like flowers without water...
      Thanks for coming by.. and making my day... :))

  7. I think there is a fine line in the 'marriage game.' One really doesn't want disagreement to sour the whole commitment, but since both people are individuals there will times.... In this poem you wrote with honesty of the 'good' and the 'difficult.' I think only with honesty can broken parts of any relationship heal. And yes, 'love-to-live.'

  8. It is really wonderful when a couple is committed enough to withstand the small irritations and disagreements. That is what it takes, I think - loving the other enough to stick and stay through it all. Such a blessing. Thanks for this, Panchali. It does my heart good, to read of such marriages.

  12. Put two opposites together shake them up and what do you get...a married couple! As an outsider you wonder do they really love each other forgetting that they have created their own world that they are comfortable with. Great poem.
