Love aloneA Poem by Chebem Ikeloving 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........... © 2016 Chebem Ike |
