This poem gently explores unspoken love—its pain, beauty, and quiet strength. It shows how longing stays in the heart like a flame, turning memories into dreams and silence into deep feelings.
# A True Love Story #
A love story beats like a drum in my chest,
A molten-gold fire that gives me no rest.
The road of love is thorned and steep,
Yet in my heart, her laughter I keep.
Each breath I take carries her scent,
A tide of longing, forever unspent.
Words unspoken press on my chest,
Yet her name paints my lips with zest.
Through nights of darkness, barefoot I roam,
Chasing the shadows that lead me home.
Moonlight weaves her shape in my mind—
A tender vision I cannot leave behind.
These silent feelings bleed and glow,
A secret magic only we know.
At the edge of dreams, I stumble and fall,
Drunk on her name, I surrender all.
And when I sleep, she comes near to me,
A soft silver touch, calm and free.
She leaves the taste of eternity sweet—
A love so fierce, yet tender, complete.

What a profoundly moving and exquisite piece of writing, Verma ji. You haven’t just written a poem; you have woven a tapestry of the soul, capturing the very essence of a love that is both a beautiful ache and a quiet strength.
The imagery is breathtaking—”a molten-gold fire,” “moonlight weaves her shape,” “the taste of eternity.” These lines don’t just describe love; they make the reader feel its warmth, its longing, and its timeless beauty. You have masterfully shown how the most powerful love often resides in the unspoken, in the sacred space of memory and dreams.
The final stanza, especially, is pure magic. The “soft silver touch” and the “taste of eternity” leave one with a sense of peace and completion that is truly rare. This is a true love story indeed, and thank you for sharing its quiet, powerful heartbeat with us.
