Let Me Love You…

 

Let me love you…

 

Till….

 

The sun doesn’t shine, and the moon ceases to  ascending

 

The flowers do not bloom and lose their beauty.

 

The rainbow fades.

 

The birds break their wings

 

The waves stop kissing the seashore.

 

The wind becomes hostile and belligerent

 

And everything seems so gloomy

 

-and-

 

Till ….

 

My heart stops beating

 

My mind doesn’t remember

 

Let me love you…

 

For the sake of love

 

Till eternity and beyond.

 

 

Nostalgia

 

The Sun slowly surrenders its strength

As it welcomes the silence of the night

Billowing breeze envelopes her senses and

Sends her to a melancholic trance while

My eyes are heavily laden

With silent tears that are borne from my heart’s core

Freeing them into rivers of tears

The longing for the lost soul

Leaving her in a torment state

Slowly crippling the hope for forever.

As the promise of love was abandoned.

 

 

Take Me To Your Heart

 

Take me to a place

Where I’ve never been…….

 

Where….

 

The sun meets the sky and continues to give light each day

as I fathom the dimness of life.

 

The moon illuminates the darkness of the night

as I continue to dream of a beautiful life with you.

 

The flowers continue to bloom

as I challenge the poignant ambiguities of life.

 

I can soar high like an eagle

as I continue the endless and perilous journey

 

The river meets the ocean

as I quench my heart with endless weariness,

 

I wanted to be in all such moments, but

in no other places …..

 

So, take me to your heart

and let me live in a

World of endless possibilities…..
