A Million Times Nine Poem by Wilfred Mellers

A Million Times Nine
Written by: Wilfred Mellers, Friday, July 28,2017

Nights spent dreaming in Buriram,
On the east coast of Thailand, once known as Siam.
Sweet nights of dreams everlasting,
Colors of true blue contrasting with indigo, are so fascinating.
Silent are the mystic nights I have known,
I sway gently in this moonlit paradise alone.

She is my everything, and I am hers;
She is my life, and it is her I prefer.
If I could be there, I surely would,
Heaven knows I would if only I could.
If this dream could come true,
I will always be there with you.

Casting shadows in golden meadows,
Hours spent in a dreamland bestowed.
Holding you kind and tender,
To you, my all, I now surrender.
You will never find
You residing in the back of my mind.

For you, my heart aches.
I'll do anything, whatever it takes.
To break your heart would be the saddest mistake;
You I could never forsake.
With each new day that dawns, I awake—
Here is my heart for you to take.

I want you by my side forever;
The skies part when we are together.
We are two birds of the same feather;
The ties that bind will never sever.
Let them try, whosoever;
This struggle, they can never win,
For in this relationship, I am all in.

Constantly, she pulls at my heartstrings.
She lifts me up and gives me wings.
She is my queen, and I am her king;
No more winters, just eternal spring.
She brings joy to everything,
To her forever, I shall cling.

So far to the east you are, and I to the west;
Distances truly put our love to the test.
You have ignited flames deep in my soul,
A raging fire now burning out of control.
Mere words spoken can never express;
Ask me for the answer, and it will always be yes.

Take it; I give you my all.
You are my drug, and from you, I now suffer withdrawal.
You are the fever coursing through my veins,
Consuming me softly until nothing remains.
You are my sunshine, designed to be mine;
Words cannot define how you are fine a million times nine.
