Ilya Shambat Poet Iambic Pentameter

I Left My Heart In Melbourne

I left my heart in Melbourne 

A rift in time and space 

Before becoming airborne 

To go back to my place 


I left my heart in Melbourne 

In blueness of her eyes 

In every club and tavern 

In which we spent our times, 


In parks, in zoos, in forests 

In places where we roamed, 

But more important further 

I left it in her home: 


I left my heart in Melbourne 

Inside her warm embrace 

As though inside a cabin 

Containing all of space 


Where sweetness flowed like river 

And gentleness like snow 

Fell on us, and we shivered, 

As her gifts Life bestowed: 


I left my heart in Melbourne 

And I returned, half-me 

And half-impassioned maven 

Of the Eternity: 


Which we had found together 

And by it were transformed - 

Two spirits, of one feather, 

In sunshine and in storm 


Desiring to make heaven 

And in its light to burn: 

I left my heart in Melbourne; 

To Melbourne I'll return.
