Best Other Half Poems
I search the skies
for a signal,
a sign,
of hope, of trust, of promise
amongst the celestial beauty.
Is it in the setting sun
that warms
like the giving of your heart?
Is it in the glistening stars
that sparkle
like the twinkle in your eyes ?
Is it in the comets
that streak across the sky
like that smile streaking across your face?
Oh it must be the half-moon
such beauty and grace
glowing for all to see.
For you are the other half
The one that completes me.
It's okay to be single you get to go out and mingle, can even make your own jingles until the day you start to feel a constant tingle.
A feeling you haven't reached your goal because you're not yet whole. You go on date after date but you can't really relate so you just tolerate while having a longing for your soul mate.
You listen to society, they say you must have variety, you put on a false face, a fake laugh wishing you could make him take a polygraph cause you're so tired of getting the shaft, you start to pray to God foe your other half.
But your friends tell you to get a grip you have to have companionship so you go on another trip, after all it's just another booty call until you hit a brick wall.
Even though you're thinking of the downside you have your pride until you take home Dr.Jekyll and Mr Hyde, by The Grace of God it wasn't your final ride.
Now you're leery of dates, knowing you were delivered out of a hell of a strait so you suck it up and wait, lo and behold there stand your soulmate. You look to the sky and say God you're great.
You see, when life's laws you shun, and keep finding yourself outdone, stop being on the run. You'll know when you have found your hun because one plus one will equal ONE..
Don't drop your jaw this is not a flaw. It's Divine Law.
Form:
Many years ago, I’d been seeing
My whole life in front of me.
Like a tale, I could tell how it’d end,
By simply looking at how it begins.
Thinking I’d been born this way,
Without any luck.
With no other options,
Neither freedom, nor choice
to change anything
from which has already been written
in the past.
In fact, it’s nothing more
than a bird’s cage for me,
& even worse than the darkest dungeon,
Which has been keeping me locked up
All alone inside, for so long.
Till I realized I’ve been yearning
Something deep down from within
Which I myself, couldn’t even comprehend...
At the very core of my solitary soul
There was a space of emptiness
Seemed like a missing piece
of a jigsaw puzzle..
And like a pile of love letters
from a long lost lover,
it's been left unread
At the darkest corner of my soul!
Was it about my long forgotten dreams?
Or perhaps the things I’ve wished I had
But never had the chance to become my own?
What could it be?
It’s the greatest mystery I’ve been keeping in my heart, for so long..
I thought it’s just a myth
In my own wishful thinking!
Too good to be true or to be mine.
Therefore, should be kept ignored
Like those unread letters ,
from a long lost lover.
Or as an old file of forgotten
impossible dreams!
That should be left untouched
Until the very end!
One lucky day, I stumbled upon a special mirror!
So different from the one
I used to see in front of me!
Just a simple touch on it
with my fingertips
I was promised of the possibility
To live happily & free!
At first, I thought, it’s nothing
but reflection of my own self alone
But then, I’ve realized it’s beyond
What I have ever seen before!
My lonely face, which for so long
has never known how to smile again,
Had finally been smiling
In front of it for almost all day long.
Till many long days
of waiting & staring at it faithfully
I was at last! able to see clearly
behind its mystery!
Real connection I had
With the image inside,
It finally revealed the truth
Right before my very eyes!
The image of the one I see
in front of me, Is no one else ..
But the loveliest image
of the OTHER HALF of me!
Like a mission you came tactically as if you're a hero,
You neutralized my heart intently without hesitation,
Just like a specialized cop you impressed me though,
And like a naive warrior I was fell with your actuation.
I never dare mesmerize you to lead the trail towards me,
Nor entice you just to show I've got a new buddy of my heart,
Nevertheless, I never gambit you to love me by plea,
In fact, you just forcibly enter into my den so smart.
Knowing you're my destiny, I trusted you wholeheartedly,
Believing every words you disclosed, you bewitched me so badly,
But every pieces of your hidden agenda investigated vigorously,
Bingo! I discerned the truth beyond reasonable doubt discreetly.
You are as rogue as insurgent like we used to eliminate,
Such a treacherous kind and sham alibis to totally hate,
You turned my life into a war zone, I don't care about my fate,
There's no other way but to quit before it's too late.
Unknowingly, God is such an enigmatic author to my story,
Since I am a damsel in distress, He sends me a knight in shinin' armour,
From nowhere a tough yet compassionate man crossed the said border,
Piece by piece my torn heart cautiously fixed by that army.
No amount of depths can deter if your intention is pure,
Or either a disaster can intimidate you if your love is true,
Cultures might be a big differences, it's not an obstruction for sure,
Because true love conquers all and torment is about to cure.
Combating the misery I've felt before is quite an inferno,
Yet an intruder sneak the terrain through my being like an ammo,
Invading my camp and save my bloody heart as such a Commando,
And as I open my eyes I realized you're my other half as I know.
May this piece of art live in thy heart and soul for eternity
I counted the days, the minutes, seconds even until this day
For as long as I can recall, you have been my sight
I have wept over thy love, and I would gladly die for your well being
You once testified to the chant of the stars, for they sang my name unto thee
Called me your star, your sun, your all
Flattered I was and am, only you can complete my emptyness
O' love of mine, moon of my night, light of my day
I promise you to always love you and be your rock as best I can
You are my everything, I will love you for the rest of my days so help me God.
I'm not used to happiness
It so often runs through my hands
Inevitably it lets go
So for all those rainbows I chased
I realised you don't need all the colours
Only one will love you so
Happiness is not guaranteed forever
It's moments of elation
A perfect smile, a perfect day
Wholehearted happiness is you
And though I don't deserve them
You bring so many of them my way
I ask you can I feel secure?
Lay upon this love
And ask you to let me try
To show you my love
For you are and have come to be
The other half of my sky...
Right now, Somewhere, You’re flying in this vast blue space, the same sky under which I sit here miles and miles away from you.
I close my eyes, and let the cold breeze caress my face. Its impalpable touch I imagine to be the coldness of your palm, and I feel a chill run down my spine as the coolness descends over me.
I look upward and into the blackness I peep, nothing I see except a hollow space. Wonder how deep it might be… Is there any end to it?
Somehow, the dark doesn’t scare me today because in my head I see your face. I remember that you’re there to be my savior with the vows taken for eternity.
Those hazel brown eyes when falls upon me, I feel a blaze in my chest and the butterflies start fluttering in my tummy.
I lower my eyes and avert my gaze. I feel the heat that evokes underneath my skin, rising up to my chest then neck and then to my face.
Where it subtly settles on my cheek, painting it red, displaying the state of my heart that throbs so hard against my chest. It might as well come out of it.
I collect myself and slowly lift my face, gather courage to look straight into your eyes. Then I see something I’ve never seen before, that I cannot explain otherwise.
Numbness dawns upon me and I cannot move myself, I am held frozen at one place, all I see is a reflection of my own in your eyes.
The color of your eyes seems to get shallower with every second, and I cross over to a realm that was yet unknown to me. I get a glimpse inside your soul, I get enchanted and the contentment feels good to be.
(It’s amazing how a prince, by chance was passing by my kingdom. When he felt the need to stop by, then he entered and wandered around, coming across me.
He looked at me with utter astonishment and then asked in a voice so firm and deep, ‘to be his forever’, to which on my ears I couldn’t believe.
I felt the luckiest on earth, because he was one of a kind. I had heard about his bravery and kindness and how caring he was. Everything felt like a dream because, he was a rare pearl found in the vast ocean…)
No one knows the days ive spent
Hearing those that arent there
Seeing the faces of those who died
A shadow without a care
At night they come see me
Those at work dont believe me
Please Lord come and free me
I would cherish the good times
If only I can remember
My mind is messed up
Its gone from July to December
I keep playing back those days
Like its my own movie reel
No one understands what I say
Nobody knows how I feel
Going from day to day
One hour after another
The seconds turn to minutes
Everythings going by slower
What hasnt slowed down
Is my mind that keeps racing
There is no track or route
But its the same obstacles I keep facing
Friends, family, and those who know
Will never understand
My mouth has tasted the fear
My body has felt the pain
My mind has played those tricks
My eyes seen the horror...and shed a tear
Cry for those I must
There is not one thing I can do
The tears a part of so much more
They come from the God who loves you
Take stock in what youve learned
Cause there is no path but True
Follow one step at a time
And may God always Bless You
Form:
He and I,
Are one in the same,
His spirit coequal in essence,
Like two crooked branches,
Of the same tree,
Our core being the same...twisted, yet pleasant
Our core being the same,
Like the being is one,
We parallel like the splitting of souls,
The way he mirrors my action,
With uncanny reaction,
As though he is the half to my whole
Belligerent he is,
When the tide is strong
His patience a thing of the past,
He dies for release,
Bares bottled, occult emotion,
Then recoils iridescent and rash,
If only he knew that I’m here for life,
We are one,
I am his, he is mine,
I’ll hold his hand,
‘till the very end,
For evanescent is our time
Taking a stroll, silently tip-toe
Talking to strangers, tangential existence
Strangled for talk, struggled to speak
Straight for the taking, tangible change
Take a short cut, time stands still
Transformed the scenery, terraformed set
Shouts from the tomb, post-existential speech
Scanning the transcript, searching for truth
my other half- infact a better half
my other half, a better half,
both poles apart as habits do,
I a poor eater, he the great,
a firm believe in the words of the wise,
breakfast like a king,
lunch like a prince,
and dinner like a pauper.
and me believes in just one thing
eat to survive
still the day am unwell, he adjust to a mere oat bowl.
well isn't this love,want to tell
the list goes,so on and so forth.
This time I think I'm ready
For you to leave my heart
Although it's never pleasant
To have it ripped apart
It's not my soul's mystery
Just a sad repeat of history
What I want for me is simple
I want to break free
But in doing so I need to find
The other half of me
I'm the one, who is the exact opposite of who you really are.
I'm the one who makes you do things you wouldn't normally do.
I'm the one who always takes it too far.
I'm mean, temperamental, discreet and more than a little insane.
I can cost you more than just pain.
I come at you when you least expect it.
I take over what you used to know, what you used to be
As long as I'm with you, you will never be free.
Others think they do but they really don't understand
They're always trying too....lend out a helping hand.
They seem to think that there's a way to stop someone like me.
I guess we all have a weakness
And it's usually something that we didn’t expect to see.
However I was never always there.
Don't know how I came to be
But I don't really care.
There was a time when it was just you.
Innocent, naive, carefree
And unconcerned with what is or isn't true.
See now that's where I came in.
I pray on who ever I think is weak.
Make some people believe that you're a freak.
Ruin what you thought was real
Make you forget about how you used to feel.
I'm the other half
The one you never wanted to be
Like I've said before, as long as I'm with you, you will never be free.
I want to cry with your pain
I want to smile with your happiness
I want to steal ur worries
Nd lend you some pleasure
Just let me halve your burden
I want to be your other half

Ba-bump.
My heart flutters when you’re around.
My eyes gleam when you tell me you love me.
Our love is strong.
It is whole.
My soul is complete.
You fill my other half.
Ba-bump..
When your body clashes against mine,
My body becomes agitated for more,
With only the slightest touch.
You know me inside and out,
And I love you for that.
Ba-bump…
You don’t cause my tears,
You scare them away,
The moment you hold me.
Ba-bump….
Tell me everything’s alright,
Scare my tears away.
Tell me you love me forever and for always.
Cause my heart to flutter,
And my eyes to gleam.
Then and only then,
My pain will end,
So that my soul will be complete.
Ba-bump.
Ba-bump..
Ba-bump…
Ba-bump….
