Life has to go on......

You may leave me alone one day,

But your thoughts hold me tight

You may not have moment for me,

But our souls are always allied.

 

My heart is evocating you in a soft tone,

Enter my heart and stay there forever,

Desire is sizzling inside, akin a golden fire

I would spray elated craze onto you

Feel the warmness, there’s no barrier.

Scribble some words in this empty heart

It gives gratification, swear on every beat J

 

It is known that you won’t feel the same for me.

But it doesn’t matter anymore to me,

You’re the part of someone’s beautiful life,

Despite with whomever and wherever you are

My love for thou will be overwhelming.

You can split my empathy or renounce me,

Even then you’ll be in my tale.

 

Well then, you may choose your own way,

So you need not regret for going away.

Life can also go on if you aren’t there.

I merely confer love, no prospect in revisit,

As it’s known that expectation hurts.

New vivid prospect is also ahead of me,

I shall strive to reach the victory acme.

Author's Note

Whenever you expect someone to be your valentine, you may not know the consequences of it, whether it’ll be accepted or rejected. When you start expecting and if that doesn’t ensue then it hurts. So respect the person whom you love and get going in life whether your loved one is with you or not. Memories spent together will always support to survive.

I like the sentiment behind this one... We must roll with the tides of life; takes the ups and the downs, and that includes everything that falls into the realm of love and romantic endeavors. Too many people waste their lives "waiting"...we don't know how long we will have here in this life, so we must make every moment count. Say your heart, make your desires known, and if they are not returned to you, then pick your heart up and start over again. This piece really spoke strongly.

In terms of technical issues...perhaps a little editing for syntax and some odd word useage, but overall, this was nicely done.

everything is like a period. Everything has its own time. one has to evolve and adapt.

Beautifully written, sad yet true, sometimes the one's we love do not feel the same and you have to move on in life. Well penned.

AH! The trials and tribulations of love. How well I know it! I think the secret, as I think you know it, is to take with you the good from a relationship and soldier on. Sometimes you 'receive, when another 'takes' from you!

[Vani Jalagar]

Thank you for your valuable review..... sometimes to know the importance of life we need to miss few things. It may leave us with emptiness but it also teaches how to rise again. :)

Unrequited love yet no bitterness whatsoever when realization dawns ! A praiseworthy trait and an upbeat positive vibe to conclude !

Tremendous, evocative poem Vani, a treat to read & review !

[Vani Jalagar]

I'm glad that you like my poetry..Thank you Tom. It doesn't matter whether we get the same love back or not, just keep loving without anticipation bcz it is difficult to live with broken pieces of heart when expectation is not met :(

Love is painful, but the pain is certainly a blessing. Love is painful because love brings growth. Love demands, transforms and is painful because love gives you a new birth.

Love brings your heart into relationship -- and when the heart is in relationship there is always pain. If you avoid the pain, you will miss all pleasures of life. With love you become human; you stand erect on earth. With love you are vertical

[Vani Jalagar]

hmmm very optimistic thought :)
