The Curse of Love Unrequited

Lives that meet and merge magnetised.
Eyes entwined in spellbound silence.

My heart anticipates the great love story that is about to unfold.

But behind your gaze is ice.
Love melting you and crystallising with another.

Young, innocent and foolish,
I want you to adore me and remain uncomfortably fascinated.
For I am blinded by your brilliance, your intelligence.
Every untamed part of who you are.

Credulous I wonder, do you feel at all my love for you?

Totally oblivious to my crime,
I cannot see, I don't want to see the violation of my own self respect and of your choice.

All I can hear is your singing and your alluring voice and instantly,
I find myself entrapped over and over again in the magical mystery of all you personify.

I fully declare and acknowledge that, the situation is hopeless.

Because like starlight my love shall always be with you.
Deeply, through fathoms maturing.

The heavens dance on the horizon between you and me.

So alone I silently watch and wait.
Like a night hunter, hostage for dawn.
