Poem for a loved one
I am still uncertain as to what it was
A heart in turmoil or a yearning soul
A vulnerable point in time or a raging storm
A peculiar energy resonating from within
My heart, have faith
Break the warm ice we have frozen in, for long
In waiting
For a flame to spark and hearts to collide
Mistaken I was!
For my heart throbbed for him only
Naive, unaware, I was, when you slipped past my walls
Indeed a magical time it was, a pouring out of my heart
Never has my heart bled in such great joy and comfort
Love I believed was cliché
A promise for forever, thick and thin
Selfless dedication of the body, soul and mind
But why is it that my heart pounds every time you praise me
Why is it that my heart aches in suffering when we depart
How have I grown to become so sure yet you remain my only weakness, my only fear
For there isn't a day on earth I don't long to spend with you
A night I don't pray to be by your side, under the moonlight
Riding the constellations, searching the skies
A world of our own
Now we seldom meet
but you hold my hand every night, when I close my eyes
Your gentle voice say my name, your hand touch my face
Oh how much I crave to live in that moment forever
With my lover, my best friend, forever and ever.
