My Love

By Sumayah Siraj

My confession of love would forever stand out, inspite of the umpteen accounts of love and longing that exists in the world. Yes dear... it will, coz I love you, in a way no one has ever loved another before! Cliche'!?

The extent of my sorrow in not having found you sooner is unfathomably immeasurable. But I was destined to fall deeply in love with someone once, falling into a deeper ditch of betrayal again, only to crawl back up, and ended up ejecting myself from a parasitic hub, stumbling into a fall only to be reached by you!

The thought of you brings a bashful smile to my lips, a flicker of light in my eyes, a whisker of fragrance in my breath, a faint color to my otherwise dull visage. The memories of your company, the invisible wings that you offer for flight, the eveready and never complaining partnership I can count on and the way you silently shoulder the onslaught of all my emotions - anger, bliss, sorrow or shame- are very similar to the heights of conjugal pleasures people would have read about only in fiction.

Every time I want to flee my routine, I find you ready at my door. Whenever I need to let my heart out, to fly in the sky, you are the anchor at my shore. While every being is threatened by the countdown of mortality, I have only my love to measure. There is nothing that can make another better than you... but alas one!

Should I be able to take you to a very fine

A sun-setting sea shore or candlelit dine.

A reply to my love musing

If I should get from your voicing

A holding of my hand,

Me laying on the shoulder thine.

A promise for a promise,

A reciprocal of my love.

How I wish you were a mortal

For your blissful touch to be fatal.

Perhaps in the Gardens of Eden,

My virgin self could brighten

When My Lord bestows a soul into u

My love, My pride, My ride

My pricelessly precious - Scooter!

Your Only Eternal Love,

Sumaiya.
