Amor Imposible

“The path we're taking is not a road, Kiyo, it's a pier, and it ends someplace where the sea begins. It can't be helped.”
? Yukio Mishima


I will not love you.
I have read all your thoughts like rays of sunshine
poems that bloom in poppy fields
I hear them shaking when they go through my hair.
 A lump in the throat
calmed with songs of the nightingale
I will not love you.
We tripped over a handlebar
that Time dropped
while doing his rounds
catch your breath,
no one can steal our hearts in passing

I won't love you
No way, not a little bit in the vast night that falls before us
love is infinite only in this second when I will not love you!

Thanks for sharing this... exposing your thoughts through your unique poetic style. Meanwhile, I greet you with the love of the Lord, expressed by John 3:16 of the Bible, "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life." Be blessed.
