Oh My Love Poem by Dave Alan Walker

Oh My Love

Rating: 5.0


Oh my love
I see you so near
But our love
Can never be

Our worlds can never meet
They will never let us be
The culture of yours
The evil of mine

The colour of your skin
The pailness of mine
Should not matter
In the love of two minds

God let us be
To love who we love
Can't you see
It was meant to be

All we ask
Is to be left in peace
But I guess we know
That will never be

Why can't they see
How I love you
They said you was dead
That you laid down and died

Oh my love
Why did you die
Can't you see
I can't be without you

I miss your smile
Your sweet sweet smile
Oh god why
Did you let my love die

I lie down and die
Look up to the sky
And see my love waiting

God let us be
To love who we love
Can't you see
It was meant to be

Good job, keep up the good work. 'can't you see, it was meant to be' But maybe that's what our dreams are fore.

Very well drafted scenaries so serene of unrequited love and a spin a yearn attitude of love is felt within.Love is like a horse here which you can ride until the end of the riverbed but perhaps nobody can make the horse drink water.Its upto the horse then to decide. Your poetry is truly overwhelming Sir and thanks for sharing it with rookies like me.Impeccable write..

Forbidden love, the theme of many centuries, and a reoccurring phrase in beautiful poems, like this one.

A very good poem exposing one negative effect of racism. Very natural, passionate and high degree of sandness. Very good. BRAVOOOOO......!
