I have no pen to write
No paper in my sight
Just how I feel about you
So diligently I’ll type
Before my nerve falls through
You’ve got me awake all night
With feelings I’ve tried to fight
My heart has skipped many beats
My head is spinning still
But my mind and heart don’t meet
You’ve not wooed me enough
Not shone among the rough
Haven’t been my knight prince
So why am I still awake
Though I went to bed since
My heart’s been beating so fast
But I know it just won’t last
Head’s refused to stop spinning
So I convince myself
That it’s for no good reason
And with each gasp for air
I resolve not to care
Firmly I tell myself
That I’m not in love with you
Love does not equal self
You chose to walk, remember?
Away from me. I wonder
The reason why you came back
Till your motives are spelt
Plain on paper, white and black
And you make your pursuits
Very clear so it suits
Me. You’ll never have my heart
With all zeal and all passion
Jealously, I’ll guard it fast
So the truth I need you to say
Will you love me, come what may?
Above all else, guard your heart, for it is the wellspring of life. (Prov4:23)

Guard it, keep it under lock and key. When the right time does come, you wouldn’t know when it breaks through the barriers..’Love has its way of doing that.

That’s why it’s called “FALLING IN LOVE” you never quite know when it happens, wham! and you are there.
True to the heart.

@oyenwen odia
i detect prolonged & repetition of same thought & expressions in many lines.
A Poem is supposed to be compact & concise.
However, really a nice poem!
