| Pesky Garden Gnome -> Unrequited? |
|
Deeper than friendship Beyond family Almost tangible This contradiction As soft and beautiful As it is strong and fierce Burning Pining through the day With night comes the longing Of something unrequited Perhaps not To speak of it Forbidden But there it is There it does stand The heart most true To one it belongs Love His love His heart His soul His? |

I am among those who get inspired at the weirdest moments. This poem was spawned from one of those. I was walking home from the library at uni when I heard the voice of the pining lover in my head. The voice of someone who wanted, yet couldn't have, not because it is wrong to love, burn and want, but because it isn't exactly right either. My first poem other than some really bad ones that were assignments in grade eight. A decent effort on my part. |
