Poetry and Prose: Notes About Love
SAVIOR
"How are you?"
my subconscious asked
"Perhaps, in love,"
my heart responded.
"Save yourself!"
my brain shouted.
"He saved me,"
my soul countered.
-----------------------------------------------
HOPELESS
My heart wrings
on memories reminisced;
My soul bares
the person I am missing;
Love has always been cruel
to the hopeless romantic;
Yet I drowned myself
in the idea of you and me.
-----------------------------------------------
Write about me, he says.
Tell me!
How do we write about the people
who took us away by storm
where no amount of words could define
the impact they made
and the footprints they engraved in our lives?
-----------------------------------------------
"Have you been in love?"
It is one of those intriguing questions people
and even we ask ourselves at some point in our lives.
"Have I been in love?"
"Did I experience love in its most real and truest form?"
"If I did, when was it?"
"If I do, how could I say I am?"
I have yet to phrase my answer to all of those questions.
They will be in hefty papers, blogs and inks.
Words will flow endlessly
like how we give our everything to the people we love.
