If I Should Ever Learn

If I should ever learn, in some random way

That you no longer love me, nor ever did

I shall fill the streets of darkest mornings

With poems written, never given!

And heart-ache lived, never abandoned.

Even as my selfish human form desires you

I will not expect anything from you,but give you what I have

I should choose the paths of repudiation.

 

If I should ever learn, my dearest friend

That at the houses of light

you found other luminous ways

of living, of dreaming.

 

I would burn more bright

Not remembering the direction of your sun

But in alignment with your cosmic importance.

 

With always greater evolving care

How the purest light, always rushes forward

I should not cry aloud, like I do on lonely mornings

I will not cry.

 

These will be but memories of Earth

One day to grow dim, like your spell on me.

These are just reminiscence of our physical forms

before we meet in the afterlife,

and could hold you for eternity.

Strong, powerful... It feels like my heart is shattered into a million pieces and I'm feeling what the speaker of the poem feels. Such intensity! Keep on writing! :)

An evocative write as always Bal. Nice.

[Divine Pen]

This is so beautiful and emotional write...I really want to hold this poem.
The final lines portrays thoughts of a lover who has reached some spiritual level of love....This lover seems to be heading a path where materialistic things doesn't matter to him...all he wants to do is praise his lover...like others praise god
truly divine :)

[Balkaran Sidhu]

Thank you for such a sweet review

[Nereus Matthias]

Ah so much longing..i can almost feel it..... I think you are ready to take your love at greater spiritual heights..spirituality that we don't see often in relationships and love in present scenario. Two thumbs up for the poem.
