We are delighted to have the 2nd post by Shahd Thani for our Red theme titled “The love a writer holds” We hope you enjoy her first poem of 2014
Tell me about the love
A writer can hold
The passion withstood
The sorrow sustained
The broken, preordained
***
Haven’t I loved you in dreams long ago?
In my present, a whisper away
Your voice mesmerizes my soul
***
I love you on paper
Bleeding red
Weeping red
Hoping red
***
And I’m crushed
Besieged
I squeeze my heart dry
***
Unknowingly, you fill me
Coloring the grey
Tendering the tears
***
You are no longer here
Swallowed by the abyss of life
I draw you within these lines
I love you when you are gone
***
My pain,
My pleasure
I chain your visage
With words
***
Will you ever know adoration such as mine?
Beloved thricefold and made immortal.
***
Yet, still, on this sheet
I love you endlessly
Weep hopelessly
And I bleed again
***
Always, again
***
