lovelands

I am moving on and out... to a different country.

I know I can't escape from you.

Your eyes are in the sky.

Sun-kissed your hair.

Even if I ran north,

I'd always end up in the midnight sun.

Let's go to Paris.

Just to fit into the patterns suitable for lovers.

But in my belief, love was learning French for you.

"C'est ce que j'ai fait."

Either your name appears in every song.

Or I choose songs featuring you.

Does it matter?

All I know is; that your hometown is my hometown.

and there are lovelands I would die for.

Author's Note

midnight sun: A term referring to the 24-hour visibility of the sun in the summer at extreme latitudes of the north and south.

Oh Beren, now, I want to go to Paris. I've written about it but have never traveled to another country. I believe I would get lonely for home, though. But what a thrill it would be. I wish you safe travels wherever you go, and please continue to write!

[Beren]

Awww! Thank you so so much! Your comment made me so happy! Maybe one day you'll go to Paris and remember me!

🥹🥹🥹 this is so sweet! Thank you really much. What a great thing to love and be loved! Take care of yourself!

Beren, this is a wonderful love poem. Midnight sun, see, I knew there would be fire and passion in your love poems. "and there are lovelands I would die for." When someone or something is worth dying for, that is true love, the love that comes from the depths of you. Thank you for sharing, Beren

This is really beautiful. The lines about Paris and learning French stood out like they say so much with so little. It’s like a soft confession wrapped in poetry. Thanks for sharing this lovely poem!

[Beren]

Oh so sorry for my late reply! Thank you so much for your very beautifully supporting comment! Much appreciated. Take care of yourself.

[Ayesha Faiz]

You too, take care.

You scare me, I love your PP(my old profile was starry night and I had a poem about that) and I love Albert Camus so much( he is French) and he might have a little huge affect why I wanted to learn French😭
