I Feel

What can I say that I haven’t said before What can I recite to tell how much more You mean to my world How that I’ve never felt this with any other girl Is it simply that I love you Is it simply that I need you to Smile again Smiles take away all the pain The hurt That first time I saw you I knew That first time I held you my heart flew To these July 8th cloud nines And you smell divine And you make me complete When your eyes haunt my dreams And when I hold you it seems That time stops And my heart beat drops To zero and I can’t help feeling lost In your essence And your presence in my heart Clears all the ache and doubt And sorrow I’m in love with our every tomorrow But these words read so inadequate Our lives spell out fates Intertwined minds in sync Praying that I never blink To never miss these moments Can’t miss these signs and omens Our love is written in scribes on walls In heart caves like hieroglyphs Sang in ancient songs And Greek-God myths Sealed in celestial bonds You know, it’s written in the stars Spelled out in cherubic musical bars Constellations drawn about our post sun-sets Capricorn and Scorpio met In heaven’s playground I would’ve undoubtedly found an angel But not till I fell To earth and got tossed about In life’s stormy surf caught Chasing colourless rainbows Praying for suicidal tomorrows Losing all hope Teetering on the edge this cliff Holding onto the frayed end Of a tattered rope Not till my life was empty Not till this life left me broken Not till my soul was numb Not till I was sure I’d never find the one The other half of my poetic soul Not till I fell upon your splendour When your smiles did their all to render Me helpless we would fit no less than that Perfect sunset on a perfect July 8th I’d finally be able to feel.
