THE CHOICE

I write of Love

As if I were it

I dream of Love

As if I would cease to exist

Without it

I feed on Love

As if it were the breath that I needed

To keep on going!

Seeing how bent I was towards Love

Life itself appeared in front of me

In the guise of a king

Who told me

To choose between fame and Love!

How stupid, said I to Life

How stupid of you,

To think that you would be able

To have me forsake Love!

Don't you realize that I have seen through your acts

Don't you realize that I have been awakened

That I simply know of how false you are

Of how you misguide souls

And of how you end up with a blank wall

Having souls going round and round in a vicious circle

Being unable to free themselves from your grip?

Of course, I choose Love

As it has been given to me by the skies,

Yes, it has been decried among the Gods

That my body is to submit to his

That my soul is to merge into his

That my whole essence

Should be like that of a Goddess totally devoted to her God!

Go away, Life,

Let me follow the guidance bestowed to me by the Gods,

Let me be!

Doing so,

I know, I shall free not only myself from your maze,

But Love shall be so too

Together,

We shall be there where the human mind

Is too tight to even conceive of its grandeur!

MY WAY

I tackle Life,

As I have been tackling it since I dawned

As a player

Seated in front of a gaming console!

I tackle it

Without ever allowing myself

To lose

Knowing that I won't have a second chance

Yet,

I tackle it,

Confidently

As I know that watching over me

Are the merciful eyes of the skies!

I know that I shall outpace bullets

I know that I shall be sheltered

Till the time comes for me to leave its maze

I know that my path has been chosen

By some higher power

Mysterious and subtle!

I tackle Life

As would a fairy

Lost in a dream

A dream being so like a game

Of hide and seek

Between herself and her lover!

I tackle Life

With the sensitivity of a frail heart

Knowing that in return

It shall give to me,

The keys to open its mystical gates!

LETTER TO LOVE

Love,

I write to you

With an anticipating heart!

I write to you

With an open mind also

Knowing that

Your choice remains yours!

Still,

I write to you

Wanting to show you

The grandeur of your own essence

There, in that world

From which we both fell

Merely for the sake of our passionate story!

I write to you,

Wanting to engrave in you

The urgent need for you to hold my hand

In yours, forever,

As such remains the only way

For us

To be granted forgiveness

And to be allowed back there!

Love,

I wish I had enough power

To show you all that I have seen

I know then,

You would not have hesitated

To have me seated in the comfort

Of your heart

For as long as Existence would allow us to!

Love,

I shall write as long as I can

I shall hope as long my heart would allow me to

I shall yearn as long as my strength would allow me to

I shall die for you should you wish it be so

I shall bloom for you should you choose to have it so!

Love,

Pray, heed me,

Believe in the faith which binds us

Love the past that makes us

Trust in the future which awaits us

And allow us

To happen!
