A Warrior's Love Poem

 

Days pass swiftly in this part of the world

Without a single thought of You creeping in my mind

 

 

But trust me, in the back of my mind You are always remembered

Though I regret not being with you at times of despair

 

What I see is a photograph of newlywed couple

Full of emotions which can just be felt not seen

 

You must be looking as beautiful and as charming

Is I think when thoughts of You surpass during the nights

 

I cannot express how much I want to be with you

But can only say that my Love for you is akin to Himalayas

 

At times I dream of being closer to You, helping you in daily chores

Making You feel special all the time

 

But dreams are dreams, no reality and

Me away from you is a reality which I want to correct

 

I know this will take years to happen if at all

But thinking about it is keeping me fighting

 

Fighting a war, ready to face the enemy’s bullet

Standing tall day in and out in freezing temperatures

 

Looking at that folded, slightly torn masterpiece kept in pocket

Every time I need strength to fight and come out winning

 

Just to dig into my pocket and see a new photograph of ours

As I come with open arms to be with You once we win the war.
