An ode to Love.....

Recommended Posts

J.Lee   

As I sit in my room

With my pad and pen on my lap

I contemplate to write an Ode to you

Yet…I don’t know where to begin

But I begin to write anyway

Hoping words would come to me

That’d help me capture your essence on paper

But how does one describe an indescribable emotion

Such as...

Love

 

Psychologist thought to dissect it

Poets such as I, tried to explain it

Yet lovers simply accept it

It’s a word, not different than any other word

Yet no common dialect

Could ever translate what my heart felt

When I first laid eyes on Love

It was as if time stood still

Not a soul moved...only movement was

My heart beat increasing

As if dancing to an age-old rhythm

And I was simply unaware of its choreography

Love..

Yes I’ve held it in my hand

And kissed it goodnight

Each and every night

I’ve nurtured it like a child

Allowed to manifest

In its purest form

You and I

Love...

You knew me when I was just a shorty

Going through puberty

Hardest years you’ve helped me through

Heard me when I shrilled cries of help

When nobody replied

You simply held my hand

And on your clothes I soaked with tears

Tear-stained cheeks you wiped gently

“Ifrah, everything is all right,†you’d say to me...

I felt an emotion so unidentified

Yet it intensified

As I watched you become a man in front of my eyes

when you decided to go back to school, I nearly cried

And when anger, Jealousy and rumors rears their ugly heads

Your love sustains me till like anthrax it puts them through living death...

Love...

Like Explicit cursive..

So deeply introverted

We are, I hope to never part

From you ...

Love

When I looked

Down on my pad

To read what I wrote to you

Love…

There were no words

to describe the joy I feel

All I seen was just

A single tearstain

on my pad.......

Erase the past,the present holds what's best

resting your head on my chest

holding hands,never another stress

no one to impress...just us

to grow old together,through ups and downs

smiles and frowns....any weather

the bad times not evident,it only gets better

it's a struggle...but its obvious I love you

all my tears and fears disappear when I hug you

from life to death,I want you by my side

continue to show me what it's like to be alive

so lets try...to carry on with our relationship

you've got my heart Baby Girl

and I'm sick of you breaking it

I love you, you love me, what more do we need?

I'm me,you're you that's

how I know we'll succeed

someday,you'll understand,

what its like to be a man

and have to sit here all alone,

no one to hold your hand

I can't stand...to not see you,

even just for a day, I miss you

can't wait for dismissal,

figuring I might have missed you

waiting in hope...waiting for you

to greet me with a note

a lump in my throat...nervous,

because I'm already late for class,

and still no sign of your a$$

sitting around,waiting for the time to pass...

run through my door,pick up the phone

and pray that you're home

can't you see?I would put my life on the line, just for you to survive

wipe the tears from your eyes sweetness,

if you started to cry the reason is clear crystal,

I'm myself when I'm with you

I want to make you my wife and

spend the rest of my life with you.

 

Peace,Love & Unity.
