Love Poem: I Wish

I Wish

In my chair,near my table,
my head in one hand and
a pen in the other.
drifting in the vastness of thoughts,
poking my forehead
for the words to flow
from my mind on to the paper
and take shape in ink.
waiting for an inspiration or a motivation
or may be a call from my girlfriend,
her sweet innocent voice
into my ears they fall
like honey drops from heaven
lifting my spirits,
clearing my vision and
freeing my soul,
in merriment i dance.
tremble in her songs
when she sings for me,
i join in the song and
in merriment i dance.
i have no care for the world
even for a single moment
when she is around me,
in merriment i dance.
but away when she goes
surrounding me in loneliness,
solitude becomes my friend
and sadness my companion.
longing to see her smile,
in pain i may be
i want to see her laugh,
her tears are what i embrace
and her love is what i wish.
