Love is neither for me nor for you;
Lesson for everybody – comprehended by FEW.
My bed swallowed me in a gulp
Concealing the emotions within my heart’s pulp
Under the sheets, the rolling tears need a break
Otherwise there will be a flowing salty lake
Everything has turned to betray me except his thoughts
His memories slaughter me with the silent thrashing shots
I shut my eyes to embrace the mortal sleep
One thing more to deceive but his thoughts deep and deep
I strive to trail away from his thoughts for an instant
Defeated by an immense margin – my soul arrogant
Was the time spent with him an incredible reality or a worse nightmare?
I can sense his breathing pulse caressing my earlobe as if I still care
His splendid looks, miraculous personality, humble nature – my ultimate admiration
Was it an obsession or my admiration on biased foundation?
Was loving him intensely my substantial mistake?
Was this I deserve at the end of the day – melancholy, agony and heart ache?
The uprising question is: WHAT HE DID?
Struggled to get rid of me; leaving me to solve his remnant grid
The perception of the prince charming that enthralled me before
It lingers in my head – poison needed to seal the sore spore
He was my prince – THE ONE with whom I dreamt of walking down the aisle
The moments passed by in the shot of a bullet – I helplessly smile
The twinkle of his eye, the curve of his lips, his emphatic Adam’s apple
His vivid imagery accommodates the empty rooms of my brain as a gray-dapple
Things turned from bad to worse
Nothing left except to curse
Eventually my doom compelled my soul to give in
The devastated me doesn’t have any choice but to dump my feelings in the fatal bin
I turned pale, feeble and fragile
No more rosy cheeks; tears competent of the fast flowing Nile
Love is eternal regardless of what is cherry-picked
Love is morphine – an addiction for an addict
There is a message for you to know
Love is naïve yet a massive blow
Seek the lesson on your way
Trust broken once can’t be mended any day
Love unconditionally – no quest for the reward
Thirst for endeavor and adventure rings the heartily chord
*THE END*

That was incredibly moving. From start to finish. Very sad.
Thank you so much for following up to the series to so sincerely – your interest contributed much in presenting this poetry like this.
Thank you so much once again.
-Naima.
Your welcome. And I’m glad. A talent like yours should not go to waste
Beauty lies in the eyes of the beholder [Smiling]
-Naima.
🙂
Trust broken once can’t be mended any day
Love unconditionally –
These two are so diametrically opposed that I could never do it despite my adherence to Christian faith and precepts of 12 Steps.
It is all the business of your naive heart – may be you can never do it (as you say) but you never know how many times unintentionally you have already been under the very same roof! [Smiling]
Thank you for your comment though.
-Naima.
Apologies for not being able to read up the series. It was intentional, to say the least. I am scared of things that get me in my thinking gloves of late. I can read anything and everything but not the emotional stuff- thats kind of like my middle-of-the-year resolution 🙂 Nothing against you but its just the thing I have to do for myself. Hope you understand… Keep writing !
No problem! I appreciate your will power and strength to stick to your resolutions. Have a very good night. Hope everything is good at your end. [Smiling]
-Naima.
And yeah, no need to apologize. Keep Smiling.
-Naima.
Thank you so much for the space. I had to let you know because I have a decent apetite for reading and that too from someone as talented as you…well.. its a delight every single time.
I will be around for sure 🙂 Good night to you too young lady :!
You are just a lot sweet every time you are around that I fear diabetes attacking me [Smiling]
-Naima.
Well you are a decade younger to me-Ok not a decade but almost 😀 . So around here, I feel what you feel for your little cousins :)) and someone already said once, ” babies ain’t no piece of cake” 🙂
Oh come on, that doesn’t make me a baby but you are again being extra-sweet [Smiling]
-Naima.
Naima!
This was ineffably awesome.
Perfect ending.
Read the complete series again, in one go.
**Hats Off**
Awww… You are just so adorable, my dear friend!! =)
With much love and blessings your way.
-Naima.
Hi Naima! It was so emotional, I could feel your emotions. Splendid blog.
Thank you so much dear one. Hope to see you around more often.
Peace & Light.
-Naima.
At last, there is an end for broken heart 🙂 Now they can restructure their heart again by falling in love 🙂
Falling in love would be awful now, isn’t it??
-Naima.
Yes it is awful when we know to restructure your heart 🙂
And we can’t think about anybody else but that person – the condition of true love!
-Naima.
I agree but not for all the cases…It’s quite hard to find true love for single person 🙂 maybe we need to split our heart in to several pieces and give a portion of full true love to one person..In case if they betray we can use the remaining part 🙂
I understand your psyche but it is difficult to like somebody over someone you have already been in love with intensely!
-Naima.
It is easy to like somebody but difficult to forget..isn’t it?? What to do? Life is a journey..We meet plenty of people in our journey but we keep moving 🙂 whoever wish to join till end can come into your life..others are just passing clouds 🙂
Sometime you get stuck on that passing cloud and it is difficult to let it pass by.
-Naima.
PS– Look, you are good at words! You explained it metaphorically!
Why we need to stuck up with passing clouds, when it’s not going to stay with us… Metaphorically??? what does it mean ?? Am poor in English ??
Humans are foolish to get stuck on the passing clouds – we force them to stay!
Stupid, it means ya are too good! Duhhhh Jackon!!
-Naima.
We need fight against it and should come back safely 🙂 When did i became stupid suddenly 🙂 Duhh ( Is it bad word )
Nothing! I am stupid for using both the words that passed like the clouds over your head! Apologies! [lol]
-Naima.
cool 🙂 I was just asking the meaning for stupid… i always love the clouds above my head…i would like to touch and see 🙂
Hahaha..
I would love to touch and see too..
-Naima.
Yes you can do it during winter time in hill station…You can’t catch it but you can try touching it 🙂
I have already done it literally! [lol]
-Naima.
then think of moon if its literally rather than clouds..
I have to be an astronaut for that [lol]
-Naima.
You can be an astronaut in future..if you choose that path 🙂 I don’t know about your ambition …
I want to be a journalist [lol] I will start my degree in Media Communication from the fall of this year.
-Naima.
Congrats!!! Soon we can expect your journalist news worldwide in BBC news or New York Times is it 🙂 You would be traveling all around the world to gather news or informations…
Ahhh.. I hope so! Fingers crossed!!
-Naima.
All the best!!!
Thank you so much! All the best to you too with your life!
-Naima.

Tender healing offered to hearts so betrayed. Loving unconditionally after such tragedy – miraculous. much love to you.
Thank you for your wonderful comment! It heals my heart every time I see words coming from you!
Much love to you too,
-Naima.
Luckily I have an iPad and I can look for many words that I don’t recognize :). You are extremely good in command of vocabulary. I remember of there is a movie about an African American kid who have to compete in commanding the English vocabulary, and there is an intense amount of effort for the work. I love that movie, my apology that I can’t remember the name of the movie.
I think it is a very good writing, and it must have taken you tremendous amount of time, and this is a great love you have for your Friend and a beautiful friendship :). There are some excellent quote in the poems too.
Since you have devided the story into different parts, I guess it must have some turning point, and low, and the high emotional narration. May be in the beginning the good times together, then something happens, when heart is broken wheat are the thoughts, related to herself and her family, then the struggling to live on or to leave this world. well, the story don’t have to be arranged in this way, can be in many ways, but arrange in a way to give a turning point in some events.
E.g. how good times turn to bad times, deciding to live on or not, what to hold on in future, and what is the change of the faith to love?
Just my opinions :).
Really enjoy your writing ❤

Firstly, mighty thank you for breaking the record every time with your lengthiest comments from time to time. My Vocabulary – i think it is kinda dying to get an opportunity for a showcase when I am in a “Poet’s Zone” [lol] Jokes apart, I am not able to utilize words when I am writing prose so I think its the magic of poetry.
Anyway, I was actually stunned that you mentioned my poem had excellent quotes. I read that line over and over again to ensure if I am reading correctly. Thank you for reading it with a concern to appreciate me as well as provide me with advises wherever needed!
To be honest, whenever you try to come up with suggestions – that’s my favorite port of your comment; to see how you would have wanted to see the things and how you have perceived my work and how do you choose to see an improvement. Your opinions always encourage me to do better – you are like a mentor to me!
With much love and gratitude,
-Naima.
