Remember that time I told you when a writer falls in love with you, you will never die?
That is oh, so true for my love flows eternal and runs deeper in time,
It is engraved from the innermost core of my being and infinite, boundless
Beyond time and space, for I give it freely and not to be begged for.
A love that is beyond mere words and sweet whisperings
For ever beating long after the soul leaves the body to go back to its true Home.
Stories of you will be written as my love bleeds eternal portraits of your serene face enveloping my mind as it drifts away…
Characters which will remind me of your traits will be created on and on.
Poems of love only for you will be composed time and again,
With every beat of my heart, your name will be the only one to be uttered
I will not run out of words to tell you how much you mean to me
Call me a hopeless romantic but that is how a writer was born to be.
When I decide to give my heart, every written word will be dedicated for only you,
How can you die when I can create a thousand fold of stories in which I will let you live in my heart forever?
With every ink that I bleed, you are the one I will only think of
Yes, when a writer falls in love with you, you are forever alive!

A powerfully evocative, delightfully vibrant and engaging work delivered with the author’s customary aplomb.
EDITORIAL FOOTNOTE:- ( For the benefit of the author )
May I suggest, that without detracting from the poem’s impact, it might be strengthened if the current final line is in fact omitted and the word “only” redacted.In my view “With every ink that I bleed, you are the one I will think of” would pack a better poetic punch.
thanks, Louis for the wonderful comment. Yes, will consider your great suggestion.
