An Ode to Love

When you spend days without one thought of mine

I close my eyes with dreams of you

Call it pleasure call it pain

I just know that I love you

Days of despair, days of longing

When I was told you aren't for me,

The only weapon that kept me silent

Was your love embedded in me

Patience as I lacked always,

Today I learnt without a choice,

Hopeful for the dawn days’ later

When I would listen to your voice

This is neither a sonnet nor an octet,

Neither is this poetry,

When the heart bleeds with lover's dejection,

These are feelings of love lost in misery
