Love alone

Love alone

A Poem by Chebem Ike
"

loving from a distance

"
Your voice a soothing melody through this nefarious night
Your smile light dispelling the shadows hunting my heart


For many nights I have woken to a dream of you and me
In that spring by the country side
With you in my arms
Watching the birds play and sing
And we drink from the peace of the rushing spring


And yet when the day breaks


You pass me
You pass me like I am a thought
Never crossing a mind
Like a white not needing a stain


When will it be and you will notice
The longing in my gaze, this melting affection
For you...


I hear you talk to others
And borrow it for my dream
I watch you smile at them
And corner it for my thoughts


Am in love with someone I yet met
My heart I ask
Are you strong to be in this alone
It replies: the thought at least keeps me warm
The thought of loneliness I can't bear to think
Silence hurts
Its like a snake venom spreading..
And gosh ..I need not be lonely
So let me pump love
Even from a distance...........
