Frozen Tear

I don't know how to build bridges but I know magic

 

Will the light in your eyes be enough to illuminate the darkness of our fears?

 

When my clumsy and unlearned hands drop tools and construction keeps collapsing

 

Will you smile and make it all whole and perfect again?

 

Good and wise people say that faith moves the mountain

 

Will my longing alone build the bridge to reach you?

 

I know some magic but I cannot use it on you

 

What I want from you must be real

 

I don't want to charm you

 

I don't want to deceive you

 

I could

 

but then the light in your eyes would not come from your heart

 

I am not good at building and I am impatient and tired

 

still you are on the other side and my heart won't last much longer

 

my fingers bleed - the tools are so rough

 

but I start over and over again

 

I see the light flickering in darkness on the other side

 

I know it is you

 

from the desert island of my home

 

I will keep trying to walk over the abyss

 

If I fail and fall for ever

 

If I never hold your hand

 

never reach the other side

 

look at me when I am dying

 

let me close my eyes

 

with the memory of light

 

that gave life to my heart

 

collect the frozen tear

 

sleeping in the corner of my love

You are a Poet. You led me on a journey with your words. I could feel the yearning and desire in every line. Each line in the poem had a purpose leading to a strong and sad ending. A excellent poem. A few people in a life excite our soul and spirit

Ok what can I say that will give this poem true justice? How many men would love for a woman to feel this way about them. To believe in them this much that they would risk everything to be one with them. Superb writing and poetry :)
