ROMANCE: "LONG DOWN WALKS" BY KARIM

I yearn for love, not because I told you

You're a Marvin I met in dawn hours

When thou gripping got my London bridges down

And such is you

The definition of reciprocation.

I thought you said love is your true caliber

You promised to live with me elegantly

But this is where you have brought us

I want to bless our meeting day

But my heart is imploring me.

I want to be an eloquent speaker

But my words are failing me 

Like a river that has run dry

My heartbeat triples with thoughts

Thoughts on why I chose you instead?

Letting me to the barren marriage of old pretty

But there's a meaning to love

That I don't want to lose you in the process

I tried all I could to keep us

But it seems not operating

I tried to nurture our love like a rose

But you never wanted to bloom

But likewise even in the darkest night

God still operates.

The poet persona loves a woman and tries all his best to balance affection between them. Yet, this woman is not seeming reciprocative. Still, the voice of this poem believes God shall intervene positively.
