Once upon a time in my life,
Kisses, came from hat tricks
Not threes like in soccer,
But from hats that house rabbits
.
Rabbits that just prove that then,
Her kisses were like magic
Garnished with doubt and electricity
That surpassed all possibilities, In her eyes
.
In her eyes, I would get lost for days
They were a garden of hazel and green
That evoked words from within me
That my mind had never seen, but my heart did
.
Every time she bat her lashes, I was blinded
She had on bulletproof eye shadow
And I was always reminded
Oh! damn! Girl how did you get that ass in those jeans?
.
Now I’m stuck here in a scene
Where you look so pristine
And you’re hopping up and down
And I bet you think this poem’s about you
.
And it probably even is
My love is like glue without a lid
And the more I breathe fresh air
The harder I become to steer, away from you
.
How have I lived these moments without you?
Without your warming smile
You being my sunshine
And lighting me up from within
.
My heart is heavy and remains unburdened,
May love quench this bitter taste
Cos My heart is but a gentle flower,
In the breeze without any power
.
But thorns guard my endless passion
left carelessly on my sleeves
For love is ample chlorophyll
Pouring from my leaves
.
Oh! I just want to be loved
by you And not languish
in this everlasting tale of unrequited love
.
I want to wake up with you next to me
I want to breathe words in your ears
And watch you wake up like a swan
More Beautiful and graceful than your peers
.
I want to feel every sensation that your lips make
I want to taste every spark in your synapses
I want to hear your heartbeat from inside mine
I really bet you think this poem’s about you
.
I just want to love you
For you and you alone
I just want to look in you
And make your heart my home
.
I just want you to love me
For who I really am
I just want you to accept that
I’m not a shoddy scam
.
I just want to look into your eyes
And see my reflection in them
That way I’ll be inside you
Maybe then you will be mine
.
But over the years I’ve come to learn
That Love is a losing game
No matter what side you’re on
You’ll end up feeling insane
.
From the hurdles that my heart surely jumps
To the insecurity that my heart beat pumps
I’d still bet you think this poem’s about you
And guess what? You’re probably right
I am KING.
Gosh! Go n serve it up already….i like. But, e long Sha!
I am glad you like it. Thank you
“That love is a loosing game
no matter what side you’re on
you’ll end up feeling in sane”
@jamesndu, lol. What is love after all done if you are not lost in it?
Lovely sorrow, lovely poem.
*insane*
I don NOT want to be lost in love.
Thanks for dropping a comment, I appreciate the gesture.
*do*
I bet You think this song is about you…
Hmmm. Interesting.
Thanks for reading…
I bet you think you wrote an awesome poem.
Of course I did…:P
the last stanza sealed it for me
well done!
Thank you aunty Teewah
btw… I am a fan!
Glue without lid, leaves….these imageries go places.
Intense.
Imagery makes writing beautiful. Thanks for having a beautiful mind.
Intense…witty…and slightly naughty.
Interesting and very contemporary.
From the place – ‘I just want to love you’
It seemed to lose depth till ‘From the hurdles…’
But then it could be deliberate.
Nice work still.
Yes it was deliberate… Thanks for the compliment. Bless!
You bet I read it, and yes I like it…
Boom!!
you must be seriously in love lol- nice poem
lol! thanks
I love the last stanza. The mention of rabbits confused me a bit- initially. Very nice poem.
