no other

No Other

 

This poem is about another

One so dear to me

Who else but my faithful lover

She rises above the rest

 

She shields me from the darkness of life

And shines so bright to scare it away

She rises up and takes me with her

To a better place with no sadness or hatred

 

She’s there for me in my needful time

Just like the sun that’s there in the sky

I miss her on our times apart

I wish her here to absorb her beauty

 

Constant thoughts fill my head

They shove out misery and constant dread

She is the kindle of my fire

She keeps up the flames of these desires

 

The way she is, just flawless

Impossible to prove it all

The way she moves and she speaks

The butterflies are then released

 

When she calls, I am there

When she cries, my shoulder is there

When she falls, I pick her back up

When she flies, I hold her up

 

The river that flows in my heart

Is pure of fear and regret

As you are there by my side

Through the thick and thin

 

Why we are together is a mystery

But not far from unreality

This world is meant for you and I

But much more is to say of the skies

 

For now I know life’s true joy

It’s not money and fame of people

It’s a simple matter of companionship

No more than people as friends

 

I not only speak of love and lovers

Closer friends too, just them and me

We are together to protect what’s ours

Now we can share

The rightful love to each other
