Love Poem: A Deeper Dimension Than Words

A Deeper Dimension Than Words

I was a helpless and unhappy child
incapable of giving love,
seeking an affectionate
mother to take care of his need!

I was left alone,
forgotten by all
and feeling so miserable
I clung to faith and waited;
no, I didn't search for anything
that shunned hope and truth,
or promises spoken by the mouth,
never reaching the heart...
giving it some consolation!  

Was there anybody lending a hand,
taking me out if that darkness,
and bringing me into the sunlight?
No, miracle ever happened!
Did I recognize my sins as trials,
or just went on and lived life
not understanding that love has
a deeper dimension than words? 

Who was feeling lonelier than I?
I accepted fate and embraced loneliness
not knowing that someone cared,
wanted to open my closed arms 
and make me believe again in something,
that something I shunned as a lie!

A caring person can open that window
long shut on an estranged world
and let in the sunshine not felt in years;
how bright is the day beginning 
to breathe and conquer the lost freedom again...
being sure that this is another beginning!

Who doubts that love has
a deeper dimension than words?
Have you been caught at crossroads
and made a choice not too wise?
Have you stopped and realized 
that the road couldn't be crossed
without a compromise...unless
you had the courage to cross it twice?
