IT IS ETCHED IN MY HEART

(This is a passionate love poem dedicated for our readers, young and old!) 

I CAN NEVER FOOL MY HEART,

FORCED IT NOT TO BEAT HARD

YET RESISTANCE MOVES YARDS

REFUSED, BE TAMED AS BARDS!

I WILL FORGET YOU AS AN ART,

THE LOVE THAT HID IN THE BARK

MY HEART UTTERED NO AS A LARK,

THE TRUTH SETS ME FREE FROM DARK...

WAIT AS REASON MUST PREVAIL,

WILL NOT HAPPEN, SO DISTANT

EMBLAZONED FOR HIS SWAN...

BUT HEART WILL NOT BE BANNED!

WHY HEART ANSWER NO REASON?

ASKED THE SKY SO RED AND AMBER

WHY NOT HALTED FROM THE START?

NOW PASSION AS A FIRE ENGULFED...

WHY HEART OVERFLOWS WITH LOVE?

AS YOUR EYES PIERCED THE OLIVES,

I WAS CAUGHT AS EFFERVESCENT DEW

SUBLIMED ON THE TAPESTRY IN VIEW!

TIME WILL HEAL, A SECRET BY NADIR,

FLOW WITH THE LAVA QUITE SHEER

HEAR MY LOVE WITH THE MELODY...

I HAVE LOVED YOU, HAVE YOU LOVED ME?
