POETRY FOR THE HEART

Is this real?

Are you?

Am I?

Do you see me like I see you?

Do you feel what I feel?

Deep within me

A glow

For you

How should I express this?

How should I convey?

Thoughts of you dangling in my mind

Like visions I long to have

Visions I long to belong to

Yet I know the truth

And it hurts

It rips away my visions

It rips away the glow buried in me

Why?

I ask myself

Is it because I know

That the dream I constantly play with

Is but a shadow

A shadow of your love

A shadow of you

I long to linger in that place

A place where my thoughts run wild

And my heart skips beats

At the prospects of something so magical

Existing

But sooner or later

I have to wake up

I have to free myself

From this confusion

This mystery

I have to ask myself

Once more

Is this real?
