An Untold Story

How many love stories remain untold?
How many hearts have ached?
Their tender moments of togetherness
And their bitter pangs of being taken away.

Wars have been waged
Soldiers have lost lives
The color of the party has changed
But 'some' love has lived forever.

I crossed the snowy deserts
I ran a thousand dreary miles,
I boarded the train headed to nowhere
Until I ran into you.

It took only a candle
And an ink blotted piece of paper,
Howling wolves and relentless snow storms outside
To openly declare my love for her.

Our love was epic.
When we united
The moon shone brighter
And the nights were longer

They sought Peace
After long & hungry wars,
I found Peace
Only in your arms and in the sheet with You inside.

I was condemned as a Poet
You were condemned as a revolutionary's muse.
They wanted to put us in Hell (within this world)
But we were meant to be and we were in Heaven.

Like in millions of stories, untold
Time took us away apart,
When my heart became like wet paper
I could not endure any longer.

I would give anything
To see your golden locks again,
Your blue eyes and tender lips
The feeling of family per se.

Waited for you through time
Thinking of our brazen days,
The chance encounters we have had
And the chanced separation which swayed.

So many times that i thought
I would not see you again,
And so many times has God
Brought You to Me again.

Finally on a warm summer morning,
I board the regular tram,
My gray hairs beckon me
My heart has started to calm.

I see you like a million times before
Your steps, your gracious self,
My heart leaps and bounced
As you walk away.

I shout for you, I scream
I try to run after
My voices fail me , So does my legs
I start to fall and falter.

Then I miss a skip somewhere
My heart starts slowing down,
I realize what's happening to me
But You keep walking away.

Before it all turns to clay
I steal a glancing look,
I ask God for a moment which is Forever
In which I have You.

You come to the funeral,
You weep by my grave,
You tell me about my unborn child
That You had bore with me.

You put down the flowers you brought for me
You shed a silent tear
You walk away slowly
And You vanish and disappear.

Author's Note

Thanks all of You...Although both the speaker and the girl love each other. Their love is torn between war and a changing society...

This is impressive. I mean that in the sense of it left a great impression on me. I love how you narrate their love and their loss. Its very personal and close. Bringing God into the poem improved the story of the boy. Good job, and it was a very interesting read.

[Kaitlyn]

Very good :)

Wow... just wow. Love is amazing when it's so strong that nothing can come between it. Beautiful. An amazingly written piece, gave me chills and almost brought tears to my eyes. It's so sad, but beautifully written.

Very pretty poem, and it's happy and sad! A beautiful read!

[roarke]

Strong piece, deep layers, intense direction. Yet I think it's a little over done. If it's really strong, like this piece is, how much needs to be said? go back into this and decide what's most important. Read it aloud or have someone else read it to you, or record your own voice reading it and listen. The imagery is very clear, don't add in more than necessary, maybe there is enough material here for two pieces... who knows. I thought these were the strongest parts:
"I crossed the snowy deserts
I ran a thousand dreary miles,
I boarded the train headed to nowhere
Until I ran into you.

It took only a candle
And an ink blotted piece of paper,
Howling wolves and relentless snow storms outside
To openly declare my love for her."

Just impressions, everyone is different. With each write, we learn about life and creation.
