ODE TO LIFE

' Love '



Must I be Shakespeare to express my love

one which was greater than life

seeming to last forever, everlasting



We had it so good, enjoying each other

friends and lovers, or lovers and friends

difficult to say what was first, or both at once



Our love was the Sun splashing us brightly

and the shimmering stars at night

sending us kisses of love incessantly



Our love were people smiling at us

wishing us all the goodwills of the world

and we ourselves, united in each other



Everything was in place, rightfully and godly

rivers of honey, seas of boundless beauty

biodiversity serving us as we serving her



But when you went away one day from me

with no goodbye, no a word of farewell

it was the end of the world for me, Romeo alike



Stars crashed down on Earth the following night

and I was swept away by the high seas

a castaway on the ocean, in its full storm



I was myself a bottle with a message inside

saying I love you till the end of the world

the bottle filled with the tears of my despair
