If I Were With You Now Poem by Khairul Ahsan

If I Were With You Now

Rating: 4.9


I can see clearly, you are in pain now.
I wish I were with you, to hold you
In my arms and give you a big hug.
To look at your eyes and assure you
Of my friendship, and ask you to look
At mine and read the letter of solidarity
That my seeking eyes behold for you.
And with my parched lips I would
Dry off the pearls of tear that hang on,
And whisper some words into your ears
That would instantly turn the heavy sob
Into waves of light laughter, thereafter,
Holding hands we would walk miles and
Miles, to a secret destination, together!

Cheer up, baby! I know it's not so easy.
You have only one life to live, one only.
For how long more do you wish to live
In a world of despair? You are honest,
Forthright, warm, open and passionate.
Your love is intense and overwhelming,
Your emotions run deep and you have
Deep obsessions too. As you search
For truth, you find the beauty of pain.
And that God cries for you in the rain.

God cries for you in the rain....such a delicate line, that carries so much weight! Your bundled up kindness, in written verse, a pleasure to unwrap. Visiting your pure emotions, like spending a day with a much welcomed friend. PEACE

Intense, deep, full of feeling. Such sweet and calming words. Never a suffering soul was consoled in this tender, sentimental and beautiful way. Anyone's pain would be a lighter burden after this. Really touching! ! Beautiful flow and style too.10/10
