LEGENDS OF LOVE – NOT

 

why –

can’t i touch your reflection

on the mirror?

can’t i drown myself with you

in your tears?

can’t i merge with your heart

to create a fresh symphony?

can’t i tick the clock your way

in hours when i’m lonely?

 

why –

does the door shut with every step

that we decide to take?

does the sun hide for the pain

behind the lake?

does the pen stumble for

the words dedicated to you?

does the fate gamble when

it knows that i love you?

 

perhaps it is the greater good –

that’s what people try to explain;

but i fear that it’s gone for good,

and then,

be forever stuck in a quagmire lane.

 

but oh, my forbidden love –

the truth still remains at a pedestal;

it does not so much as confide in me

to collide with your stars

and make ourselves a legend of

happily ever afters.
