just once

only if i could relive those moments once more .. just once

just once
i want to buy you a 'kolhapuri chappal'
made from the finest leather that's quite supple.

just once
i long to sleep in your cozy lap
enriching my inner being with a short nap.

just once
i yearn for you to trust me
as i whole heartedly comply with your decree.

just once
i pine to be led by you in the busy street
making our way through the fast moving fleet.

just once
i wish for you to consider me as your own
letting me enter thy pristine love zone.

just once
i bid to listen to your sweet song
taking my beats on a mystical journey, as in my heart they throng.

just once
i need an assurance that no matter what
You will always consider me as your part, even if someday I depart.

just once
i beseech thou to allow my soul to wait
cause for a moment of true love, it's never too late.

just once ..

this poem seems to tie in with you feature poem...she must be some woman...
a theme we see often...repentent man trying to win back his lady...
we take these gals for granted sometimes...make some bonehead plays and then realize that we had it pretty good after all...this poem sounds like you've counted the cost and have a plan to sweep her off her feet...if only she'll give you the nod...you're not going to stop at "just once" are you?
if you get a second chance...you're never gonna stop, right?
Nice piece...

There is a beautiful, heartfelt appeal found in your words.. the echo of "just once" forms a perfect rhythm to the words flowing through your heart. Deep and emotionally stirring.

It's very brilliantly written, with strongly felt emotions and desires. Great work.

Your repeated words really magnify the emotions behind and within your poem - the sadness, the longing .. to love or to have loved like this is a true gift from the Creator.

Wishing you sweet dreams, my friend.
