Euphoria of Falling in Love
Forelsket
As you fall in Love
Smiling butterflies drift by
On cloud number nine
Forelsket is a Norwegian word for the euphoria experienced as you begin to fall in love.
This Haiku is one of a series about emotions. It explores a word that describes a feeling but the word doesn’t directly translate into English.
If you enjoyed this poem, have a look at my book, We Swallow Light. It’s an exploration of events in a past life and a refreshing take on overcoming pain and the joy of finding love.
