Poem Title:
Poem
One day….soon I will break free Free from this body that imprisons me Free from this mind that torments me Free from this heart…oh…. This heart This miserable weak despicable thing I will break free from this heart That will not be still That loves on an on With every beat Sending blood coursing through veins Only to prolong suffering Free What is this life? There is no place No place for those who love Unconditionally Strongly Who are honest and true Naïve and unused To the games people play To the things people say That are just words Just words….. What else is there but words? I will break free And I will smile And dance in the sun And make love to the wind And play with the flowers Keeping away from the thorns That pierce my soul And make me bleed Free….. I will not let you bind me Forever… Oh what a pity For you will never see The beauty that was at your fingertips The love that would carry you To your old age When all your hair is gray And your body is feeble The love that is constant That would follow you Even to the foot of the grave And make your passage smooth That would plant little kisses on your face Gentle as a fairy The love that would sing to you A little lullaby That would quiet your fears And the chest that would be your pillow As you close your eyes A smile tugging at your lips as you hear the whispered promises Of a rendez vous On the other side In the land of light Pity….. It is always hindsight That is the clearest When it is too late to make amends When it too late to revel in The purity of a soul That was your very own Yes, I will break free Don’t look for me You will go high and low I know I know it will be so You will hear my sighs in the wind You will feel my kisses in the rain You will feel my body in the sea When you dip yourself in me You will try.... But you won't be able To hold on to me For finally Finally I will be free. Eileen Manassian Ghali
