When I first saw you
I knew then, you’re trouble
I am not the same
I am smitten
Forlorn a world, forsaken
Yet none saw the me, but you
Compassionate not condescending
Blunt yet not blistering
When beauty’s all around
Still fazes, it’s profound
But it’s the hurt beneath your eyes
All knowing, enchanting
In a world of pain
A soul kindred, to live for
Why smudge with words
Why wake the dream
All I want is your presence
Your company my only essence
It’s not love which
Depends
It’s not love, which
Confines,
To labels, To demands
Love extends
Tis love that knows
No condition
Tis love that endures
This tragedy called life.
