You found your man
And you are happy.
Aren't you?
You told your friends
Your man is hot.
He has muscular arms,
Six pack abs
And fiery eyes.
You apparently shiver
And wet yourself
If he merely touches you.
You erupt like a volcano
If he glances at you.
You are blessed.
Aren't you? You must be.
You deserve to be blessed.
You are brighter than stars in sky.
You are prettier than flowers in heavenly garden.
You deserve, only the best.
I am sure
Your pretty smile is
Prettier than before.
Your lips are
Sweeter than before.
Your eyes are
More enticing than before.
I wish I could embrace you once more.
I wish I could do it now.
I wish I could lose myself again
In your all-consuming eyes.
I wish I could drink that divine nectar
From your cherry lips.
But alas!
Not everything human loves
He could have it.
Often, thing he loves most
Would be in embrace of other.
He could only see it from distance
And twist in agony.
His heart would break
Soul would tear apart
Just to touch it, feel it, kiss it,
Yet, he cannot.
He never can.
Such is the destiny of human.
Perhaps you don't know
I often come to river side you go to.
Just to see you.
Sometimes I am lucky
To see you from distance
And ache in agony.
You know,
Some pains are sweet pain.
Human wants to have it
Even though
That pain kills him slowly.
He knows
He must die from it
Yet, he embraces it gracefully.
.
May be,
Joy is not the only beautiful thing
Human pursues consciously.
Sometimes,
He consciously pursues thing
That kills him.
May be,
Living is not the only beautiful thing in life.
Death in embrace of love
Could be far more beautiful thing.
I pray,
You grow happier
You grow more beautiful.
You don't have to think about me.
I would be ok.
If I could see you from distance
And shed my tears
I would be ok.
