I once loved her

I wrote this when I was a kid when l was more in love with the idea of being in love.

She resembles the beauty of the sky

She has a stare that makes you melt

She is as kind as mother- nature that l felt

She stole heaven’s beauty without a lie

 

                Even the skies confessed it was rare

                It is all in her beautiful stare

                No wonder she is so fair

                That l know for l once loved her

 

Her face is still vivid in my memory

Even though she has long since sailed

And to think my love for her was once nailed

Makes me realise why l am writing this story

 

                 Even the skies confessed she was rare

                 It is all in her beautiful stare

                 No wonder she is so fair

                 That I know for l once loved her

 

Her name is Doreen

A goddess that could hardly sin

She is still my kin

And roses and violets know what l mean

 

                  For she stole my love something l cannot portray

                  In the name of love the truth l had to say

                  That is why reality confessed of us last meeting in May

                  That l remember for l once loved her

 

From then to now l dream a beam

That flows over blood stained cream

That reminds me of an unforgettable stream

That which is tearing apart my esteem

 

                   For she stole my love something l cannot portray

                   In the name of love the truth l had to say

                   That is why reality confessed of us last meeting in May

                   That l remember for l once loved her

 

 

 

 

 

From a lost Valentine’s day

Up to now, l think pain still betrays

The heart that has long since filtered

The love ghost that has wilted

In destiny maybe in fate’s cousin also

Just because l once loved her

A very well written poem. You conveyed your desire and the memory. I enjoyed the good description and the use of nature. It is a sad and beautiful story of love. Some people make us wish for things we cannot have. Thank you for sharing the outstanding poetry.
