Melodies of a Love Song

By Jess L.

Of those nights when melodies played and sung,

when hearts fell and dropped and sunk

In the vast ocean where they meet and entwine,

to me you are my ocean,

my sun,

my sky,

my world,

my universe,

and the holder of my fragile heart.

Such cruelty you are that you captured me whole;

Drugged and taken and chained in your embrace.

Oh how I love to be between those arms,

and oh how I love seeing

those cheeks flare

from my compliments.

To you they don’t speak of truth.

But for me they whispered truth.

I will scream of this for the rest of my days,

will keep on wondering,

pondering,

of the way you make me whole.

Such beauty is you and this world.

Such elegance is you

that I believe nature would envy;

that they become red of bitterness;

that they would sing of jealousy.

Makes one wonder how one would be so oblivious.

How one could never appreciate,

the beauty,

the grace

and what

a masterpiece they are.

Staying up in the dead of the night,

Saw a tear rolling down,

And a hiccup soon followed.

What a sin it was!

What a shame it had been!

Oh darling those lines which marked your profile;

Those clouds which cloud your vision;

Those scars that you acquired,

They are a symbol of novelty.

Proof of the sacrifices that you made,

Sacrifices that were not in vain,

Sacrifices that required loyalty,

dedication and courage.

And I am filled with pride

That such a hero is my love.

Dearest,

I would love to repeat this for you

For as long as we live,

For as long as I am heard,

That everything you are,

everything you had been,

and everything you will be,

They will make me proud

They will make me rejoice your name

And will always make me love you more,

Everlastingly

and

Evermore.
