An Elegy For My Love Poem by Amar Agarwala

An Elegy For My Love



I never knew that loving you
Was like penning my elegy,
My heart shrouded with mournful wreaths
A prelude to my tragedy.

Echoes of your malevolence
And forlornness you gifted me,
With rites of being buried live,
No lover's fate could better be.

My love for you no give and take,
Nor baneful thoughts my mind does spill,
I gave you what my heart could cede
My love for you was heaven's will.

Its fate I yet pray with fervent plea
That I love you till eternity!

POET'S NOTES ABOUT THE POEM
A VALENTINE DAY MESSAGE

Often Valentine Day is confused with romanticism, when it encompasses much more. Feelings like affection, caring, compassion and the like also are a part of this special day. There is much legend, folklore and mystic tales which relate to this day, but in all, love often begets a longing that is hard to define, an emptiness that is hard to fill in, and a determination that nothing undermines - not even fate or destiny.
