LOVE IN A MORIBUND WORLD (VALENTINE LOVE POEMS) DAY 5 - Features Vivian Belford & Uwandu Chioma Esther

FOR YOU

This half moon

Is the shape of hearts

Left to ponder

Where the other half is

This half moon

Are moribund hearts

Left to wander dark eerie clouds

Alone on their own

Lies rising at sunrise

Dragging me down to mourn at dawn

The torture of truth not told

Left this heart, brittle 

In halves of doubt with doubts

The aches of vows not preserved

has held this frail soul 

Hostage by half-truths and lies

But

For you, I will stand the sting with bliss

For you, I will sneer the sorrow with smirk

For you, I will hop this hopeless hush with hope

For you, dear child

This mother will always believe in love

 I LOVE YOU

I love you

Without reasons

I love you

Without pretense

I love you

Without sense

I love you

Without knowing why...

I want to love you more

Until the moon turns red

I want to love you more

Until the sun darkens

I want to love you more

Until all reasons give way

I want to love you more

Until you immortalize my name

On the walls of your heart

I want to love you more

Until every high mountain becomes low

Until every hill becomes plain

Until waters flow in the deserts

Until life itself gives way

I want to love you more

Until I lose myself in you

I want to love you more

Until love's end

And since love has no end

I want to love you till the end of time...
