You’ve Asked Me

Darling… Do you believe in heaven?

Sweetheart… I do strongly believe.

I know you believe in God’s Heaven

From where goodness is received

But what about heaven on earth?

Before you, my earth was pure hell

Yet in you, I experienced the rebirth

Of strong faith as in your love I fell

Darling…What do you think of love?

I read books with many a fairy tale

I questioned stories about the dove

That led the lovers away from gale

I heard of the agony of the lovelorn

Due partly to longing in all its forms

As they do feel anxious and forlorn

‘Cause love dictates its own norms.

I pitied them with sarcastic tones

I uttered disbelief as Thomas clone

Voiding the notion as full of thorns

No matter how proven or shown

I’ve waited for you for so very long

So my disbelief grew quite strong

Till you came and proved me wrong

And now I live all Solomon’s songs

As Romeo’s heart inside me glows

With your love light filling the room

In you, I breath so love can grow

With you, I learn that love can bloom

Forgive me, Love, I did not know

How true and real anyone can feel

Love in your eyes will always show

The way the heart cannot conceal.
