Near my longing heart she lives, <br />I can't be safe ere love she gives, <br />When I want to be closely near her, <br />When I advance in both her love and care, <br />And when the stars watch us here and there, <br />And when the moon hugs us both me and her, <br />Then, she, in my sleep, becomes a nightmare, <br />That would bring misery, pain and despair, <br />Honey, restore love to me and thee, <br />For only your love that can really be, <br />My pulse from birth to death. Just see! ! <br />You are every pulse my heart needs, <br />You are every brook of love and seeds. <br /> <br /> * * * * * * * * * * * * <br />Let cowards cast aspersions on our love, <br />Let tale-tellers sustain and prove, <br />Let slanderers gossip against our love, <br />Let all know that each other we love, <br />For does it disturb them to be in love? <br />Or is it forbidden to have a baby like a dove? <br />All people shall know my love for thee is deep, <br />And only love of thee I swear to keep. <br /> <br /> * * * * * * * * * * * * * <br />Love cures all our deep sorrows, <br />It makes lovers lovely sparrows, <br />Love is only felt, and made of souls, <br />It never spoils folks or them appalls, <br />It only lifts them to the seventh Heaven, <br />Where faith, loyalty and salvation are given, <br />Love overwhelms all atoms of the heart, <br />It strikes us all with a crazy start, <br />Then we begin to follow its departures, <br />That would reach not only man but all creatures <br /> <br /> * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * <br />Love does not change, nor does it disappear, <br />It's like sunbeams that sink, and then appear, <br /> <br />Love does not torture us, <br />But the one we love does, <br /> <br /> <br />Omar Osman Jabak<br /><br />Omar Osman Jabak<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/torture-me-no-more/
