Is this Love?

a poem by Rinu M Varghese

Dreams that were before are
no more now
They have been replaced by
sleepless nights
My thoughts have all at once
come to a stop
They have been replaced by
your thoughts
Tears of sadness have evaporated
from my eyes
They have been replaced by
your memories
Loneliness has vanished from
my life
It has been replaced by
your touch
Threats have been erased
from my days
They have been replaced by
your words
Is this all an illusion of
my heart
Or is this all true
I wonder
‘Cause whatever it may be
I know
Scared I’m to express it
to you, Why?
