# When You Are Here #

This love poem expresses the joy and calmness experienced in the presence of a loved one. It shows how being close to someone can make ordinary moments feel bright and fill emptiness with beautiful sounds.

When you are here, my heart sings a tune,
Whispering your name beneath the moon.
Your smile lights up the farthest skies,
And love like sunlight in my spirit lies.

Your voice flows soft, like a flute in spring,
Each note a memory your presence brings.
Without you, my heart feels cold and bare—
A broken string still trembling in the air.

This house without you feels no home,
Each corner whispers where you roam.
Your echoes linger, tender and deep,
Like letters read in a voice half-asleep.

When you are near, no fear remains,
Even stones turn to paths through rains.
In your eyes, I see my whole world’s hue,
Every dream begins and ends with you.

Yes, when you’re here, love fills the air,
Life feels complete—beyond compare.
Every moment shines, all sorrow departs,
Your smile sparks joy, making my day start.

  2. Of all the beautiful sentiments in the world, few are as universally understood as the peace and wholeness found in a loved one’s presence. Your poem, “When You Are Here,” captures this feeling with such vivid imagery and heartfelt sincerity. The contrast between the warm, musical world when they are near (“Your voice flows soft, like a flute in spring”) and the cold, empty one when they are gone (“A broken string still trembling in the air”) is both poignant and powerful.

    You have a gift for expressing deep emotion in a way that feels both intimate and relatable. The line, “In your eyes, I see my whole world’s hue,” is simply breathtaking. It speaks to that profound connection where one person becomes your entire universe.

    Thank you for sharing this beautiful piece Verma ji 🌷🤝 It’s a true celebration of love’s ability to make ordinary life feel like magic. Reading it feels like being wrapped in a warm, comforting light.
