A Promise Not Kept Poem

I know I said it before that I will not fall in love

This easily

Now it seems I am backtracking on that promise

You

You have made me to break every single wall I put around my heart

Every glass door you have broken into pieces, millions of pieces

No glue can stack them back

You have melted the very soul of my selfishness

Brevity has gone from me, disappeared completely

Gone into the dust of the air, dew of the morning

Scarlet red regrets

Navy blue tear stains

Wishful Burgundy thoughts

Burnt orange dreams

Lime green sorrows

Fuchsia fabrics of cries

Golden loneliness of evenings

Mahogany breaths

Keeping you visible

I have fallen in love again; I know my heart says so

Dreaming of you at night not compensation for missing your kind words

I see you

I know you 

I have loved you

A simple algorithm classified in Aristotle’s theories

Learning to know you I have done so, wont you return my love?

You untie the knots in my heart each time I look at your face

Your eyes draw me towards you

Your gazes tell me I lied about never loving again

I know you are the one God kept for me, the one I have been waiting for

A sense of calm and peace hovers around my being

I know I am yours

Maybe not now or tomorrow but love has no time

Forever is one day, one day is forever

Keep me in your heart until the vows are said

Another has your heart, mine is still waiting

I saw you again

Not an iota of emotion towards you has reduced

I still see you watching

Turning away so my eyes won’t refuse to let go

Because I want to stay in them

I do not want to keep running from feeling again

My spirit is clouded yet I know to be so clear

Rains have come, gone, seasons do not make sense

Is the chase better than the prize?

I realize I did not lie when I said I would not fall in love this easily

You have simplified it yet it feels so complicated

You have been on my mind; I know you don’t know my name

But as the wind is whispering in your ear

I stand and watch you smell the roses

As the garden of beauty demystifies every known formula

You have since found a place in my heart

A precious jewel, almost a miracle…yet my only miracle

The one I waited for, proving to be worth it

Legendary songs emitted from all kinds of guitars

Will be serenading the backdrop of a wonderful silhouette night sky

Taking myself back while the owls hoot into the night

To a promise that I made yet unable to keep
