O Amor e Aflicao...A Poem by Khalil Raza
A feeling inexplicable, although its completely understood Her voice is my good health, her smile my paradise Her hatred my biggest fear, her tears my demise A glimpse of communication is enough to inject my day My loyalty for her is one which can never sway The beauty of her character one which leaves me in awe Her love, the one thing I am still standing for Although I believe its lost the memory is enough For it uncovers within me a diamond rather rough
She is everything I aspire to be My need so desperate, (fill with an intensifier please) A conditional, maybe you shall, maybe you shant Hold her hand forever, Khalil you know you cant The whistle in the wind blows a story untold Im told to live on to see how our story will unfold A Warmth in her presence yet her heart feels so cold I am beyond the point of forgiveness, a statement so bold
If it were a dream id wake and pray for reality Yet its imminent, the truth clouded by my vanity She is my strength, my hope and my sanity For you to understand you must delve deep into my soul Fall for countless nights in a seemingly never-ending hole Once you reach the bottom you shall be blinded by a light A light of joy, a light of love with enough power to illuminate the sky
Her anger is so sweet yet invokes intimidation Her manner so severe it provokes a bleeding nation Her eyes so celestial, her subtlety divine Her distance her contentment, yet in my heart she’s mine Compliments are endless and are given without intention My worship of her existence, another courtly convention A little cliché, I agree yet it is real and pure Her lips so concerting, her touch I crave for
I am restless to know the truth of her thought Yet by choice her revelation is bitter and short Her independence admirable yet painful if im true Her every actions screams “I don’t need you” A mixed emotion on my part is soon to follow For her actions leave my heart crying and my brain so hollow The possibility of my death a pill which I alone must swallow
Her eternal happiness a daily prayer without fail My desire for her, one which cannot stagnate or become stale Her dress, her presentation sweeps me off my feet A special occasion? My eyes are in for a treat Yet realisation tells me I’m beat For what I feel is much deeper than face value It’s an acceptance, a harmony, a definitive “I love you”
She leaves me speechless yet there is so much to say An integral cherishing of every moment and every day My silent cry weeps pleading for her to stay For the chance of seeing her tomorrow falters day by day Im insane I know it for surely priorities would be useful and I prioritise my life which she is if I am truthful Although she shall never believe me no matter how many tongues I repeat in She is my completion, my heart, the one I reprieve in For a minute of her time removes a lifetime of worry My thoughts are in pandemonium, How do I say im sorry? © 2008 Khalil Raza |
