A New Hope

When will it be time For the sublime For you to be mine And Let love take a chance Afford me a second glance So fate can take a hold And love can be bold Our souls pledged to each other No longer look at another Only hope awhile A hope for that smile To show your feelings pure Allow my heart a cure. But my feeling are hidden Absolutely forbidden By my complete morality My complete insanity In not being able to confess And stop the second guess That goes on in my mind. It’s just a hopelessness to find A discrete inch of hope At which I can grope With my withering hand Stretching out of the quicksand Of my recurrent dreams; Trickling like a stream A little tear escapes Forever drapes It’s little trace of hurt Makes its final spurt Down the wanderings of my life Built on insignificant strife From a defective girl Who caused my feelings to unfurl In an un-natural way Took her chance to make me pay For her disquiet inside Fermenting a thousand lies And countless false attractions So now my heart won’t sanction A confession to your face As I fear I couldn’t replace The strength I now have inside. And yet. And yet I feel Relaxed in your presence I feel your warmth and essence Radiating from within. Your laughter and tenderness, And a heart that says ‘Yes’ Allowing my hopes to endure. There’s no need to hide my dreams any more; I wish to wrap you up in my arms To be dazed by your charms And to lie by your side Feel love that strikes at my very core Forge my soul with yours And experience a happiness eternal. By looking into the purity of your eyes I see a reflection of all that I am And wish for no more than Your swollen heart to be mine. No longer do I feel alone, My insecurity has been disowned. I am now able to say those heartfelt words: ‘I love you’
