Etched in the illusion of time

(Him)

Is it fear that drives me,
Fear being the root of my love-
So contradictory.
I adore you,
Nothing matters more in this world,
But who can blame me for the trust
Which I crave?
Something.

Longing for one day, just one.
I worship each word you speak,
Or are they lies?
Am I drinking from the cup of fallacy,
Illusion's transparency staining my crimson lips?
Oh, you!
My eyes ne'er to see thee,
Sweet giver of a lonely paradox.
All these expressions mean nothing,
Songs are merely a hollow echo 'til you return.

Love,

The name I yearn for sends me into rapture.
Have you truly felt this bitterness called
Love?

Mi amor, mon amour,
How I?d die to believe you?
Teach me your passion,
Lend me your sorrows-
I am yours, forever one,
Or is forever still spent in vain?

Love envies me whilst I envy love.
To be in jealousy-
'Tis which the breath of morning warns against;
Be content,
Be at peace.

Do you see past the given?
Would you promise me eternity,
Always be there to guard me from pain?
Be my keeper, I will grant you my soul;
Let me learn how to trust,
How to live,
And how to die?
Is this all that I mean to you?

For saints have hands that pilgrims' hands do touch,
And palm to palm is holy palmers' kiss.--"Romeo and Juliet"

Very good poem, I like the style this was written in.
My favorite lines were, "Songs are merely and echo till you return." and, "Or is forever still spent in vain?"
Beautiful, thank you for sharing.
By the way, what does Mi amor, mon amour mean?

Just because someone doesn't love you the way you want them to, doesn't mean they don't love you with all they have.
