Invading Love Poem by Stanley Oguh

Invading Love



I sang to her these struggling
words,
in a melody with a desire to be
heard:
'Perhaps it was unintentional
yet you have still invaded my heart.
This love seems three dimensional,
one you have created from the
dark.
You are unaware of what you do,
or the stirring you cause inside.
You are unaware of the truth,
oblivious to the emotions you
incite.
It started from a day dreaming
glance,
eyes that pierce the core of souls.
It's provoked my heart's off beat
dance,
now it stays in rhythm till the
winter's cold.
Like a tickling flame you seem to
burn,
all those you touch melt as you
pass.
And those you touch, of love they
learn,
an affection awoken that threatens
to last.'
Afraid of her reply yet reply she did,
and I read the words as were from
her lips:
'With lasting impression
you've imprinted upon these souls,
Your impression is more or less an
infection,
causing hearts to fill with holes.
Although winter is cold,
and summer hot,
The heart will heal it's hole
but the inner soul will rot.
And me, you will love,
but you, I will not.
For you will live above,
but I, in a plot.
A grieving heart,
that's set to embark,
will end up living
within the dark.'
