To my mind
He was…
Just an unknown entity,
A focus to inspire, to guide.
A self-created image
To give succor
A mirage!
So unreasonable, insensitive!
So confusing, open to interpretations
Self-evasive, far away
Invisible by choice.
Till I met this man!
I wonder…
Could there be anyone
More positive, more selfless
More caring, more forgiving
More generous, more peace loving?
Who never doubts your intentions
Who doesn’t care about pretentions
Who could mold you with his goodness.
His presence convinces me
God is not invisible.

Emotional Shadows 
Such a perfect glimpse into what love is. Thanks, Balroop.
Thank you Denise, it takes a full life to understand real love. 🙂
Your poem is beautiful Balroop. I love the way the two stanzas swing. The first stanza being negative – almost
angry. Then the second stanza swinging to neigh on a song of praise to the one you love.
It is great.💕.

God is near if we recognize his blessings Miriam. He shows His face in various ways. 🤗💕

Real love is something you got to discover with time.

Aww. So beautiful, Balroop. How wonderful to have such precious love in your life. ❤ Happy Valentine's Day.
Thanks Diana, we had seen each other just once before marriage, a formal meeting arranged by family but we found love in each other! 😄

Very often, while we are searching for the almighty, we forget to notice the God-like humans around us. Life will be better if we notice and reciprocate the presence of such humans. Beautifully penned.
Since I keep questioning His existence, He proved it by being around me, molding me in His own special way. 🙂
Often we keep searching for the unseen and unknown while ignoring what is obvious. 😊
Perfect Balroop… Such is unconditional love.. Would more could find it at its Source.. ❤
Have a Beautiful weekend Balroop… Love and well wishes your way my friend ❤
Thanks Sue, some blessings can only be felt. I am glad He chose me for those.
Many thanks for standing by to read my poetry. Love and hugs.
My pleasure.. ❤ and thank you.. ❤

This is lovely, Balroop. And indeed a nod to Valentine’s day and your beautiful marriage. Hugs!!
Thank you Lisa. Hugs back to you.
Balroop, a most moving and heartfelt tribute to the love in your life!❤️ Reading the comments I see you only met each on one occasion before your marriage and how wonderful to have found such deep love, respect, and companionship with each other. I am sure your words here are reflected how he feels about you … a perfect balance of each completing the other. The purest gift in life … one to treasure. xx
Thanks Annika. I am blessed, as I have come across very few men like him. He doesn’t read my poetry (sigh) and I haven’t shown this one to him. 🙂 If I do, he would just laugh it away.
He knows anyway, I’m sure … keep your poetry close to your heart … sharing with us here and the wider world through your books. His loss though … if I dare say so. xx
What a beautiful poem, Balroop! This is poetry at it’s best––so inspired and heartfelt. I loved it. ❤ xo
Thank you Vashti, you are so kind 🤗

Thank you Radhika for your lovely words 🤗
Well said
Thanks
Okay, tears again, Balroop. Good tears. Beautiful! I realize your poetry is always open to interpretation. Yet, I do feel you have met my husband. Since you wrote about him so beautifully in the second part of your poem. I read through some of the comments and quite the story on how you met your husband. Inspirational! I am behind on my reading since I had the privilege of watching the birth of my grandson last week. Unconditional, pure love! Thank you for sharing your words, Balroop. xx
