Cest La Vie - Such is Life

A love poem

He ignited in her a raging fire

In the most unexpected way

She, who had a firm hold over her emotions

Became undone, by him...

He, who was lost and closed

To love and its consequences

Having had enough of its impediments

Wanted to change his heart's way..

When they were together, they left dazzling fireworks

Everywhere, for the world to see

And stand in awe of the unfolding endearment

Envious, of what they possessed.

His fervent thoughts for her,

Left him perplexed and hesitant

For him, uncertainty had always been

An old friend, and his favorite nemesis.

Her sensibility grew muddled

As days passed, her thoughts congested,

With him and him only.

Her mind anchored to him.

Their reassuring hand squeezes

And the secret smiles, the shy looks

And their moments of weakness,

Was all that she could fathom.

In an inevitable oblivion, a love like this

You hold on to; firm and sure,

For it is not in the stars to hold our destinies,

But in ourselves.
