Darling you know my heart is yours and yours alone

Since that cold autumn night when we met in the park,

It took only one look for me to feel the spark,

Oh barely a heartbeat for you to break the stone

Wall I had built around to keep myself from harm,

I had always been told never to trust with love,

But a single instant sufficed to work your charm.

I was yours then and there, waiting to be made of

Anything you wanted, to your heart’s desire,

Yes my dear I was yours, so complete and entire.

Lost in this new feeling, my heart beating so fast,

Oh I couldn’t care less about pains from the past,

In that instant I dreamt that you would take my hand

That you’d bring me along wherever you were gone,

We would run together, to a far away land

Where we’d sit on the beach and watch the sun at dawn.

But those were just wild thoughts of a lone man lovestruck,

I yearned for them to last, this dream never to end,

However life goes on no matter where you stand

Following its own plans not caring for the ruck.

To this day I don’t know how or why this happened,

But you suddenly stopped somewhere along your walk

And with that warm bright smile you came to me to talk

As if we were old friends; I instantly gladdened.

You were like an angel, I couldn’t look away,

I was instantly hooked by all that you would say,

The rest of the story, oh my love you know it,

We met, we laughed, we kissed, we hugged, we loved, we fit.

I have never doubted my feeling towards you,

Not even for a second did my heart waver,

There is no way to think my love for you untrue,

Until the day we part I am yours forever.

But I can see your smile, the twinkle in your eyes,

I hear it in your voice, I feel it in your touch,

The flame vacillating, sign of a love that dies,

I don’t know why that is, perhaps I hoped too much…

I can feel us drifting, slowly moving apart,

And I can’t stop the pain I feel deep in my heart,

I wonder what happened, I wonder what went wrong,

I try to understand why our love is not strong.

Though all of those questions seem not inclined to be

Answered by you or me; I try so hard to say

Something to you before, and you too, I can see,

It’s already too late, we have gone our own way.

Did I do something wrong? Did I not show enough

How much you meant to me? Or how deep was really

The love I had for you? Asking all this is tough,

So hard I almost cry; I never thought, silly,

That I’d lose you like this, no tears, no fight, just “bye”,

We don’t hate each other, love seems to have passed by…

I don’t know if you know just how much I miss you,

And sometimes I wonder, oh if you miss me too.

.

So here is something I wrote in one go, I let the feelings guide me through the words, only taking the time to correct the mistakes I could spot with one or two rereadings.

I don’t really know where it came from but I like it even if it’s not perfect. It never is anyways…

So here, enjoy.

.

Just as in life, there are no rules in poetry,

One can do whatever, however he sees fit,

Whether ’tis painting stars or sculpting a life tree,

With no body worthy of telling them to quit.

.

To express one’s deepest and one’s most inner thoughts

Or to simply make way for a grand new vision,

No need to hesitate, wildly follow the dots,

In art, only rule love, freedom and great passion.

.

There are no rules in poetry, just as in life,

No matter the odds you face, no matter the strife,

I have faith, I know you can go to such vast lengths,

For you have great courage hidden amidst your strengths.

.

.

I cannot remember the books I’ve read,

Dialogues and details have left my head

Only blurry, in the end, they remain

Never to be truly recalled again;

Neither can I the things I have eaten,

Only remnants of some beloved tastes,

Eaten with my heart, oh so pure and chaste,

Which my palate had for long forgotten.

I can’t remember the things I have said

So many lines spoken in this long play

Where I’m the main actor since my first day

Living my role ’til I’m finally dead.

I cannot remember the moments I’ve lived

Only fleeting images, sounds and smells

Of love and tears, and feeling my heart swell,

Even so, they have made me. I have thrived.

.

.

On this far away land,

Where you have come ashore

After your final stand,

What are you looking for?

*

Now lying on the sand,

After traveling long

And far with your own hand,

Oh, can you hear the song?

*

There exists a secret

Hidden in this kingdom

That so many covet,

*

Have you, though, the wisdom

To open the casket

And its true meaning glom?

.

Oh ‘glom‘ is a real word alright.

.

I want to be forever young,

I want to hear all the stars’ songs

And to always keep on dreaming

Under their soft, warm light, gleaming.

.

.

If ever you want to have a go

Whatever you might want to do,

Don’t even think twice, just try it out

There is no need to ask about.

.

Keep on trying, that should be your creed

Repeating over and over,

Do, and again, mistakes don’t matter,

Whether you sweat, whether you bleed,

.

This is not about how hard you hit,

Rather how far you can take it,

Keep getting back up, you will succeed

And one day, you’ll see, from this seed,

.

A magnificent flower will bloom

This, my dear, will be your heirloom,

This will be your greatest achievement,

To the world, your life: your statement.

.

Remember, you are never alone,

No matter if all else is gone

I am, always will be, there for you

My child, whatever you go through.

.

.

A single look, a simple gaze,

I’m on a hook, completely hazed,

And suddenly I’m feeling brave,

I don’t know what came over me,

Oh what passion, what kind of wave,

Courses throughout my whole body?

And suddenly I crave your love,

You are unique, you are above,

There is only you in this room

Like a flower, ready to bloom

Everyone else, around, dancing,

Seems to revolve only around

You, dazzling in your light blue gown;

I wanna be your prince charming.

.

Meh.

Might have to rework that one.
