My love

by Yakari Gabriel   Mar 18, 2012


Today
the pain I often feel
in the echoes of your voice,
was present again.

there was no rain,
but my heart was left
like a mud puddle

and I ache for sun,
sun for you, sun for me
sun for us.

my love,
we haven't found
a solution for the pain
of last week, for the pain
of a month ago, and today's
pain is already making itself
comfortable in the rack
of dreams, we've promised
ourselves we'll make come true.

my love,
you have two good arms,
and my heart in your palms.
although, quiet
like the steps of a cat

its yours, yours only.

my love,
I will pull you out of
your debris,
because If I don't
it'll swallow both of us.

you're not alone.

I will bring joy from
where ever she's hiding-
I'll throw her into your
eye lids, and make
your soul smile again.

...I promise you.

    Yaki, I hope someday you realize how beautiful this poem is of yours. I found myself truly touched by it- your voice has such sincerity, and I can feel the sacrifice behind your words, behind your promise, only desiring for this person's soul to be filled with happiness again.

    Absolutely pure, it flowed wonderfully and has to be one of my favorites from you. You know how to catch the heart and pull it in. I keep going back and reading this, there is so much depth to it, it just amazes me! The way you describe the pain, how the pain of yesterday, last month, and today are not gone yet, they are still present and soaking into your soul, and you write about that truth, the sad truth.
    But then you explain in a few words your determination. How there can't be any doubt because your heart is in the palm of this person, and that this promise is something you will carry on, no matter what.

    I felt myself taken in and warmed by the delicate voice of this love, the tenderness, and determination to have this person's soul smile once more. A loving, mature write, I enjoyed so much!

    Keep it up :)
