When WE both stood
In front of the MIRROR
And beheld our faces THEREIN
I realised the only part
Of the mirror that BREAKS NOT
Is true LOVE
True love

My thoughts bear me back
I can hear self speak
To mediocrity n’ tack;
Horror, how my words leak!

Hear me dish out
What I was handed
My worst - Infernal spout -
The vermin banded.

If I do live in me mind
What Paradise I expect to find?
Despite the daughter, my sole joy, laughter
What! Must my body travail
From rafter to rafter?

Then again, vermin mill round
I tap away, coroner profound

Why bemoan love’s loss?
To whose lot it may fall
Treat it akin to candy floss
One deprived may stand tall

When there’s no receipt
No dues are ever owed
Who never knew deceit
To him Gods have bow’d

What if sentiment
Is unrequited?
‘Tisn’t ornament
Cast off, de-spited

Loss of love is never an issue
Shun it, or plunge in anew!
When someone very special tells you that they would prefer someone else over you, it is a tough thing to deal with. You have no idea what you are gonna do. But if you want to fight it out, in the belief that maybe she still has that affection for you, you come up with a response. This poem is one such.

A true lover need not fear loss of love. For it's all his own.

Dry winds of monsoon rainless
Caress my little hair idly
Fire crackers acrid painless
Waft up quite widely

The elements treat me fine
Yes, they are all democratic
Often verging on divine
Tho’ folks call em lunatic

Bother not, friends
Folks are easily dumb
That’s how it ends -
Tom, **** and a thumb

Tho’ nothing might augur well
Keep being until groundswell

Oh, come on, now
I am old, not gung-**,
My limits at my door;
Stop sniveling, dumbo.

Can't look out for you
Tho' I'd commit anew
Every single day
That crosses my way

Can't keep it all turning gray
But, for you, yet I pray.
In life's twilight years, the poet looks back with a loving glance at those that have been the closest in his heart and wishes for more ... hence he resolves to pray for them.

He left her for someone
Just for the luxurious life
But someone left him
For the better luxurious life.

We've tried time and time again and it didn't work and that's on me. Now you're gonna go to college and I'm going in the Navy. All the pain I've caused you will always be my biggest regret. And you'll always be someone I never forget. You know I love you and you are my north star in my sea of seemingly never ending drama and trauma. When it comes to you I'm always in a dilemma. Do i be selfish and try to be with you again. Or do I finally let you go so you can find your dream man. I am truly sorry for my selfish actions. Especially since I always get the same reaction. Idk if we will ever be together in the future or not. But at least for now I can't shake the feelings that I've caught. Because of you I will always stride to be a better human being. I also know that seeing is believing. So let me show you the man that I can be. Because you're the only one I want to spend my eternity.

Does true Love stretch across the canvas of Time and echo in the deepest recesses of our soul, unearthing every memory that was lost in our transitions. From one life to the next, a faint glimpse of what we once knew, guiding us back to each other like a constellation only seen by our eyes.
You are all the evidence I need to confirm that Love transcends all barriers, all spaces of time, and all limitations of this earthly shell that houses my longing soul.

What you mean to me
stretches like a redwood far
beyond the forest of this life.
It’s as if my love for you
has a Soul of its own,
and that the warmth of your heart
is the Heaven it seeks..
I write because you exist
