The flame of hope

by Hassan   Sep 4, 2005


I wish you could have a peek at my bleeding heart,
the way it beats every time your name is thought,
I live every second of my life waiting to see you,
someday my lost love will be sought,
i see your face reflecting off the dry walls,
i vowed once i wouldn't live a day without you,
but here i am counting my last days on my hands,
haven't seen the sun in years,nor the sky thats so blue,
forced to stay away from you in this rotting prison cell,
i look through the bars and picture you standing out there,
thinking what you would have done if you knew about this libel,
its been eons since i saw that radiant smile of yours,
i have no wish whatsoever to live longer than anyone else,
but i wish to live long enough to see your soft eyes,
as i write this poem in my heart, as i i watch time fly,
i open my eyes each day with a flame in my heart,
a flame of hope you lit when i sat next to you,
holding hands we were talking about our future,
planning our family and the way we would live,
for those moments what is there that i wouldn't give,
i sit behind these bars living off my days in darkness,
but in his darkness it is that i see the vision.
a vision of you and me holding hands,sitting in the fields,
chewing on the grass with the sugar like taste,
be happy and your heart at rest,don't let my sacrifice go to waste.
