Don't Go My Love Until My Eyes Close First Poem by Bernedita Rosinha Pinto

The wonder of you will always remain close in my heart
it will wander with me where ever I go;

the wonder of you will make me cherish that moment
when you first saw me
and I was that little girl whom you chose
to make yours forever;

you taught me of love, you taught me of reciprocation
as you would compel me to kiss you
when I was not even sure if I loved you;

yes, I would have never known the marvel of passion
if it was not you who would pull me in your arms
and romance with me without my permission;

it was so unbelievable to my own belief
that someone like you could somersault my instinct
when I was so strict with my preferences

yet you won my heart like a king in the ocean
who rows his ship of desire thro every storm
to conquer the queen of his heart;

yes, if it was not for you I would have never known
what was true love
as I always dismissed love as just a mere fascination;

and today when you stand at the feet of that door
of eternity,
I beg you not to go leaving me alone in this world

for you must know no one can take your place
in the palace of my heart
as I offered you my love which was most precious
than all the treasures that I behold;

don't go my love, don't go, as in your eyes was that fire,
that dream and that promise
that you would love me forever until my very own eyes would close first.
