Straight from the Heart

by samjim

It is when you love me,
That I shall venture
To move mountains,
To shake up the earth,
To bring down the skies,
To walk on waters
Without having the faintest idea how.

Love, I shall try again
Though roses shall fade,
Dreams, lose their meaning
The heart shall forget,
And everything shall rot in time.

I shall try again
Though love shall lie crumpled
On the naked earth,
Like a torn kite,
Like Icarus himself.

Let me take pride
In having tried
To grow beyond my skins,
To reach beyond my soul,
To fly without wings,
Just for you.

I shall try again…….
