Earnest am I

Earnest am I,

That I am in love with you,

For proof, need I die?

Mad am I,

Madly in love with you.

Dead when am I,

I will continue loving you.

How can I forget you, when

You are like the burning embers

Glowing in the dark chambers

Of my mind, into which I fervently peek

Whenever for you I seek.

If you ever leave me,

Either coerced or willingly,

Will I see to it that you repent?

Or see if you can relent?

Haven’t I loved you enough

To last a lifetime though?

I have held myself guilty,

Should you now be?

Will you not leave your arrogance

And take for once my stance

And yield to my love game?

The lips that quiver with my name

That resonates with love and pain

Wouldn’t I want to kiss again and again?

Earnest am I

To say what is in my heart,

Your pretty laugh and smiles

Has stolen me from myself,

Made me distant from myself

By a thousand miles!

For proof, need I die?

How I long for your light

To dive into the deepest abyss

Of my lonely heart and mind,

And then take the flight

Of imagination

To the moon and sun

And wander along the indefinite space?

Peering from the sky

To gaze at your lovely face!

Will you not relent

Not for your worldly beauty,

But the beauty of you in within,

If for me you were meant?

Let me gaze at your eyes

And see my life’s sunrise

And should you not find me

In love with your soul,

Pluck out my eyes!

Need I emphasize

That I am a constant

When the instant

Love for you is proclaimed,

In the integration of veiled affections,

My claim will be greatly exclaimed

Overwhelmed by my own emotions.

Earnest am I,

When I dote on you

When I live for you

When I die for you

It’s for you my life meant to be!

For proof, need I die?

Aren’t you like the raindrops

That falls to tingle the body

And runs away, leaving no hopes

To stay on forever?

Aren’t you like the waves in the sea

Which ebbs at the shore as if to greet,

Disappearing when I seek to touch

But nevertheless throwing me off my feet!

The water I can’t hold in my hands

Neither firm stays the dry sands,

The rose that has withered

The bird that has flown away,

Are we separate or together tethered?

Why don’t you stay?

Or have something to say?

Earnest am I

For proof, I should die!
