You are the shore of my life!



You are the shore of my life!

I know that you reside in your dreams and in your desires,
You, your beauty and my desires,
I feel still need to find a way to intersect somewhere,
To give birth to the desire allowing us to meet somewhere,
Where your dreams are mine too,
And where my desires reflect in your eyes too,
Maybe you still need to understand why the waves rush to the shore,
And that my sea of life, so deeply wants to you to be my only shore,
Where to all my dreams, my desires, my wishes flow,
And I shall wish for nothing else anymore, just to be in this ceaseless flow,
Where all my waves of life pass through you and unto you,
To rest at the shore where my life feels it has eventually found you,
In my every wish and my heart’s every desire,
Where you are the last and only shore of my life and you my only desire,
Then when my sea of life pours into your life’s territory,
Love shall find an immortal existence in this endless territory,
Where all your wishes and my infinite desires form its boundary,
And we shall live within this territory of love, where only our wishes form its territory,
So let these lapping waves of the sea of life feel your feet,
For as you wade through the waters of life I shall feel thy feet,
Walking through the landscape of my endless desires and wishes,
Perhaps then Irma, you would let your sea of life empty itself into the territory of my wishes,
Then we shall let our heart beats float along with these rushing waves of life,
Until our universe is reduced to your wishes, my desires and only our life,
Maybe then, maybe then, the waves of life will rise no more,
For then our lives would have found and rested at the most placid shore.
Where a feeling of serenity spreads like a vast blanket over the sea of life,
And loving each other becomes the only desire and the single wish of life,
Then my love, the moon shall shine and you will be mine,
And we shall surrender our identities because now, all my joys will be yours and all your desires will be mine.

About this poem

This poem takes romanticism to a new height where the reader feels the emotional state of the lover who misses the one he loves. It offers a new expression to the feeling of love, with a strong emotional intensity that leaves the reader spellbound. Reminding him/her of his/her own emotion of love and romance. It draws its inspiration from the science fiction novel, They Loved in 2075. Where the main character, Saabir, falls in love in 2075, with a beautiful female who is surrounded by self aware machines. Due to her excessive interaction with these intelligent machines, she struggles to express human-like feelings. This poem is composed with the hope that in 2075, human feelings, human emotions and human love will still be valued and human society will not let synthetic feelings dominate the social ecosystem in 2075.

I have been writing poems for several years now. And my passion for poetry goes back to my school days, when I encountered Wordsworth's famous poem Daffodils, and I instantly fell in love with it, and the poet in me woke up. Since then I have been experiencing a wakeful poetic bliss! more…
