while I was fallen...A Poem by NoeldeeptzThis is a continuation of my last post, the concluding part of "As I was falling".
She smiled at me so sweetly
As I had never seen her do She then asked me to walk with her Under the full moon to her quiet lonely place. While we walked she stopped to speak a word to another And I stepped aside and looked at her shoulders from behind They were upright like the pillars of the temple of Diana. Her hair let loose flowed Like light threads of silk blown upon by a soft night wind Her neck skin lustrous Like that of Helen of Troy Who sent thousands of battle-ships against themselves She turned round with a smile on her face And her eyes, oh her eyes, They leaped when she smiled Like a restless candle flame. We walked onwards and there was quiet around us I knew the sun would display cerise in the morning For she is such a beauty upon the earth She stopped and said to me "my heart is heavy as a feared moment is here, I fear this moment than death for it causes more pain. I love you but I can't be for you. My bones weaken with every passing hour, I'm dying and I can't punish your heart. Find another to love because by adviser's report tells I'll be here for no longer time". My eyes became teary But I didn't want to let it out For I had been taught that it makes a man weak "This night I'll rather be weak" Tears rolled down my cheek Like an infant waterfall just born I rushed to her to hold her close And I felt her heartbeat upon mine Three more beats and our beat was synchronized. Slowly with our heads bent We walked back to her house And with a kiss to her lips I said goodnight, Afraid that if I said the word It might happen that I won't see her again. One month after that night She passed on and left me here I couldn't even weep because the pain was too deep. I merely stood shocked till she was put to ground. Many years have passed and she still isn't forgotten And so is every loved one gone They are all not forgotten. © 2013 NoeldeeptzAuthor's Note
