Deadly Words

Deadly words of love

 

Deadly Words /......... by Sami Khalil

...................................................................

( A sort of contemplations on love )

At last, I leave it to our fate finding what is in store

for us, for I have given up on the world but not on you,

where I can feel the desire in your voice and the resistance

in your heart.

I don’t need much talent to tell you:"I love you",

I need more courage and self-esteem.

Then, if you feel my words are out of place,

do know that my feelings are in the right one

for so many words are profoundly deadly, but the words

of love, they give life to the dead. 

And as delicate as you are in the wind,

you are the strength in my heart and the compass

to my lonely flight.

Knowing that everything has many impacts,

I attest that the impact of love is either death or bliss.

So please, let all stars collide tonight sparing my light, of love

reaching out to touch me before I melt into those eyes.

Embrace me either way,

for as love embraces us in his arms,

we embrace love in our acceptance.

I would rather lose all lonely nights and not

a single dream of you.

It strikes me how you compete with nature,

always winning  in the end.

And it strikes the world how,

releasing my pain, it makes me win and gain.

Oh, beloved, between the ocean and I,

between a sunset dressed in amber,

and a night dressed in dreams, I feel the fire and thirst.

For neither the ocean nor the nights can quench

a thirst or a fire, but you.

And if fire awakens darkened souls,

your love awakens sleepy hearts.

Very romantic. This is what a rightened boy or man would say to the one he is afraid to say the words "I love you" to the one of their dreams. Nicely done as always dear poet.

You've really given love a shot in the arm here Sami...so many gripping lines I can't pick just one. 'Embrace me either way'...that says a lot about acceptance. Lovely read my friend.

Beautiful tribute to love Sami, romantic and deep!

"For neither the ocean nor the nights can quench a thirst or a fire, but you.
And if fire awakens darkened souls, your love awakens sleepy hearts" This says is all. What a deeply romantic write this is, Sami. To dream of your love and to never lose a detail of the dream is to be a happy person! I like the way you wove the beauty of nature through this romantic poem. Truly a delight to read, Sami. Lydi**

"I would rather lose all lonely nights but not a single dream of you" Wow, that line right there did me in. Talk about powerful...Love, what keeps us going, thinking, needing and dreaming. Without love there would be no poets. Very nice Sami.

This was gorgeous...even the great lover Rudolph Valentino could not have penned this better.
Loved it Sami...Rose:)

I really enjoyed this read. It is so truthful. I liked this line: I don’t need much talent to tell you; "I love you"
Any one can say those words out of place or not. But so beautiful is the message. Thank you for the share on this. Very thought provoking and so many angles to take it. Well done my friend. Pen on. :)

I thoroughly enjoyed this read! What a wonderful compilation of thoughts on love and life. Your works make me think deeper - and I like that over fluff pieces. This covers a lot of ground from infatuation to deep seated love that shines again when dusted off :)
Thank you for sharing such wonderful insight!!
