True Love

If there is something
called love that too
the one which is true
I have cracked the code
I never knew
Until you entered
Into my abode

I have been encountered
By love thrice
But this time it is unlike
My previous ones
Were beautiful delusions
to my utter surprise

Here I am not first
But willfully second
In the pool of boundness
I have submersed,
I reckoned
Here I am simply lost
And you are the foremost

Here I am a creator
Here Almighty
Makes me a maker
Here in my dreams,too
I care about you
I adore you
Here you are in the offing
And I am full of beans


Backbone that groans
Running hormones
Bloating and constipation
Frequent urination
Food aversions
Nasal congestion
Tender, swollen breasts
Frequent moodiness
Painful cramps
It gonna take time
For me to revamp


This is how, I am prepared
For your arrival
For the carnival
I feel helpless at times
My freedom redefines
I may feel exasperated
But I never lamented


I used to think
Flying planes was
The most empowering thing
But carrying you
Made me rethink
You have given me
 nerves of steel
 And wings of zeal

Sometimes I am amused
And totally confused
Am I taking care of you?
Or
 Is it you who keep
 giving me a clue?
When to take
meal and medicine?
And what is good
For my hemoglobin?

When I eat
You are served
Is there any love
That can be above?
When my heart beats
You respond
By beating yours twice
I behold your heart
Into mine
Is there anything
More divine?

Being controlled
Was a bad feeling
It was never appealing
Now
I will control you
And will never let you
Walk the fallacious paths
I walked too.
Finally I know
What true love is
It is you in me
It is you from me
It is you and me
