Love@25: Valentine Poem

Getting your Trinity Audio player ready...

I am not a reader or writer of poetry. But I scribbled a bunch of lines (on demand!) on our 25th Wedding Anniversary. I chanced upon it today and thought it might also pass off as a decent Valentine Day Poem. Here it goes:

Love at 25 is the oxygen around you,
Love is the atmosphere that envelops you with its presence

Love starts with growing up, then becomes showing up and then always being there
Love yet remains walking as one together, holding hands in hot and cold weather

Love is shifting cities without battling an eyelid
Love is travelling in an auto to office and then to pick up a kid

Love is being the daughter to my mother and then father
Love is taking care of them when I am in some country another

Love is tolerating my oft-repeated insanity
Of chasing goals, then investing, health and then some spirituality

Love is laughing with each other on birthdays, anniversaries and just like that
Love is being the anchor when there are tears, in silence or over a chat

Love is being the wind beneath my wings and allowing me the freedom to land
Love is also flying to find your sky, of seeking your own nirvana grand

Love is going places together, of clicking and posting pictures, and then letting go
Love is to travel a lot on the outside, and then cover some distance on the inside too
