My Doubts

by NIDAL   Jul 12, 2007


A Letter to Erica:

How can I embrace you?
When we are ripped apart by oceans of tears.

How can we share a common ground?
When I am the shades and shadows of olive brown,
And you are the only white diamond in my crown.

How can our love withstand?
When I am the dignity of the Arabian sands,
And you are the bearer of the cross, marching to retake the holy land.

How can we mend a broken heart?
When I am a lonely wolf standing up to the moon filled sky,
Grieving our future with a howling cry.

Is there any hope for us?
Darling, I see the sun rising over the darkness of my doubts,
And water flowing in the land of draught.

Yes, love and hope are always alive.

    Loved this stanza, Great poem friend, 5/5. Yes what do we have if we loose hope, I do believe that sums it up nice, and its so true.

    "Is there any hope for us?
    Darling, I see the sun rising over the darkness of my doubts,
    And water flowing in the land of draught.
    " these lines were beautiful in verse and meaning. The depth from which you speak this subject is apparent; if not personally then sympathetically.

    I believe we have that in common-always hopeful we will have captured the heart.
