why it seems so dark <br />though my heart is on fire <br />might be because <br />I’ve been inventing lies <br />out of the illusive truth <br /> <br />I’ve been a man of heart <br />ignored the continuous buzz <br />of my intuitive mind <br />did things right or wrong <br />but did that fearlessly <br />whatever my heart dictated me <br />now you call me a fool <br />that I don’t use my mind <br /> <br />o’ my love! <br />you know not <br />I won’t die <br />if you would abandon me <br />in the midst of this dark night <br /> <br />you know not <br />a single man of heart <br />can be worth than <br />thousands of clever and wise <br />I don’t repent loving you <br />I don’t even curse you <br />for presenting to me <br />this eternal pain of severance <br />yet I say; don’t worry <br />I won’t die <br /> <br />you know not <br />my love has the power <br />to make heavens cry <br />and you couldn’t even make <br />a broken heart smile <br />believe you me <br />still I would live <br />and I won’t die <br /> <br />if you would see me <br />in some other space <br />in the centuries to come <br />I would be holding my aching heart <br />inside my frail chest <br />and would be greeting everybody <br />with an everlasting smile <br />and would be whispering to you <br />please don’t feel bad for me <br />I won’t die <br /> <br /> <br />Oct 13,2009<br /><br />Dr Kamran Haider Bukhari<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/i-won-t-die/
