A THIEF OF LOVE

A THIEF OF LOVE

A Poem by Shabeeh Haider

Love has stepped into my world,

And now I am a thief.

I’m stealing minutes from your life,

 Though often they are brief.

At times I steal a loving glance,

Sometimes I steal a kiss.

And then I build my world of dreams,

A world of total bliss.

I want to steal the tears you have,

I want to take your grief.

I stole your heart; I stole your sleep,

I’ll always be your thief.

' I want to steal the tears you have, .. .. I want to take your grief. .. .. I stole your heart; I stole your sleep, .. .. I’ll always be your thief. '

Beautiful feelings plus great meter plus a warm font colour equals a wonderful poem for your love. Should be written on fine tissue and held with garlands of sweet scented flowers!

A unique love story. I've never had anyone steal my tears or grief, sounds like a grand gesture! Nicely composed.

Whoa, that is amazing and pretty romantic. This is a nice perspective towards love and affection. This one has a peculiar musical effect and is quite deep in terms of the beauty of language and the beauty of emotion. Excellently penned. Keep writing.

Thank you James. I am indeed flattered by your kind words.
Cute and sweet one :) ... I’m stealing minutes from your life,
Though often they are brief. But those minutes hold more worth than the remaining hours ...thanks for sharing

I think this message might have been intended as a playful one, despite the negative statement of positive feelings. However, it reminds me of the way some of us always feel inferior, like we don't deserve a full-on gift of love or attention, like every little bit we get is stolen, rather than wholeheartedly given. To me, this is a sad message, despite the possibly playful intent. Maybe it's hitting too close to the overall journey I've walked in this life.
