PostPoems Be Artistic. Be Creative. Be Inspired!

 Let my heart be on fire,

 I am not going to be an absconder,

 Let’s see how long it can retain,

 The woe, the death-like pain.

If my love for you is pristine,

 Then nothing not even Hercules can make it lean,

 Only your loving breath will be enough,

 To make my heart in delightful ecstasy laugh.

To Rumi “the beauty of the heart is the lasting beauty”,

 Don’t you ever forget this 'my cutie'.

Heart everyone has one,

But yours one is compared to none,

Its beauty touches all,

Anyone can hardly avoid its call.

Why doesn’t everyone own such a heart?

Sounds silly since the nature’s law worships part,

I’m proud to have fallen in love,

With you my literal dove.

You are so kindhearted, so generous,

Affecting all those who die to steal some moments of yours,

You are Jewel of Lord Jim, supporting me forever,

Besides I can discover a Portia in you being my well-wisher.          

You are what Bob Marley said, my “one love, one heart, one destiny”,

Having faith in Tennyson, so have I decided wisely,

To “have loved and lost, than never to have loved at all”,  

No matter whether hell simply stares at me or chooses to fall.  

May your heart remain as it is evermore,

Let it not be impure,

May the sea and the sky dwell in peace in your heart’s heart,

Possibly Shakespeare would use your name forgetting Rosalind’s part!

You always smile although I'm mad
You always try to make me glad
In all ways, you are never bad
If I'll lose you, I'll be so sad

I never asked a favor from you before
But now that I am loving you more and more
There is only one thing that I pray
I beg God that you would stay this way

You make jokes for me every hour
You keep all the things that you vowed
I never had seen you furious
Although they said you're notorious

I won't ever want you to change
I love who you are this way
So I'm begging you to stay
Please remain like this each day

The shadows hold a secret

They conceal my heart

They protect me from the pain of love

And are my only friends

The shadows hold no regret

And they will never start

They will fit around me like a glove

Until the torment ends

Slowly closing around me

Then they suddenly stop

An opening appears

A person walks toward me

I cannot see their face

The shadows allow them to pass through

While still concealing their identity

They come closer

And put their arms around me

I allow them to comfort me

While the shadows conceal us both

From life, pain, and the world

Tightening around us

Pushing us closer and closer

The closer we get to each other

The more torment that leaves us both

Until we are free of all pain

Now the shadows hold our hearts

And now they beat as one

Together now we sit,

Our lives have just begun

Shadows bring us comfort

As well as forbidden love

The shadows set us free

On the wings of a snow white dove

Together we are safe

Together we are one

Together in the shadows

Our hearts beating as one

Today, tomorrow, and forever

Shall we remain here

Held within the shadows light

Forever protected from it all

All our fears all possible pain

And pushed toward our desires

Love, happiness, health., prosperity

And most of all toward towards one another

Two souls are we

With but one heart

This is the way it was meant

Two bodies, two minds

With two hearts

Forever beating as one
