Screaming in pain,
I lay on the barren land
Wounds inflicted upon my head
My heart and hands
Screaming in vain,
I lay under the scorching sun
Nobody came, Nobody came
It was then i swore
Never to love again
Never to give my heart away
Never inflict myself with pain
Those words i engraved upon my heart
and my heart began to say:
Nobody enter, Nobody enter
But then out of the shadows
There came one so fair
This one was different
If she were not mine, my heart would tear
At the memory of her deep brown eyes
my pen bleeds on this white sheet
I took a sip of that beautiful smile
I never knew venom would taste so sweet
I fought, Oh how hard I fought
I did not want to fall in love
Didn't want to wear a crown of thorns
After being blessed by the Holy Dove
I tried to outrun love
I tried to run away
I tried to jump the great abyss
But miserably did I fail
This world is spinning around me
Her beautiful face is all I can see,
Her beautiful voice is all I can hear,
And upon my cheek falls one happy tear
I dont know if this will last
Or if ever she'll be mine
I dont even know if I deserve
This Godess, this creature Divine
All I know now is love
And peace enveloping me
Even if she is never mine,
She'll always be a part of me

"If she were not mine, my hear would tear"-- is that a typo??
Very powerful expression.. this has to be one of those things that deeply affected you..
"i never knew venom would taste so sweet" -- i think i know wat you mean..
anon ----> yes, that was a typo....corrected now :) thanks.....
i know venoms a powerful metaphor, just dunno if i can empathise with your mentioning it in two of your poems cos when you put them consecutively together on one blog it starts to sound a bit contrived to cynical souls :)
hey,
who is this goddess? whose sweetness was such venom to you? really did a number on you eh?
the healing also has a similar feel...
nextly stop revelling in so much pain...
wow....i like the way u've used the phrase "sip of that beautiful smile" as a metaphor to 'kiss.'
and the "venom" immediately made me think of her as the bad guy....but at the end it turns out....that maybe thats just an illusion....in ur head.
