Poem Commentary

This poem originates from 2 songs of the same name which i love so much. These songs, sang by Lionel Richie and Backstreet boys won't leave me and would probably outlive me. It doesn't matter if you feel indifferent at the end, just have a read ..........still.

STILL

Love never lies nor cheats, an idea that’s always been in my head,

But  you proved it wrong when you went on to defile our bed,

Tears streaming down my eyes but why aren’t my feelings for you dead?

Oh God, I do love you…………………still.

 

Am going crazy knowing too well where you will be tonight,

It’s in his arms; he’ll be making love to you and doing you right,

He’s got my role cos I messed up; you alone can save me from this torturous plight,

Please come back to me, I want you…………..still.

 

We ruled the world and also did beautiful things together,

Like the heat we felt skin to skin, it was greater than summer’s weather,

Only God knows how we became spouses, not to ourselves but to another.

Life is strange, but we’ll always love each other………….still.

 

The deep love I have for you, anyone else can only imagine,

Your charm and passion tenderly made me blossom into a woman from a virgin,

With you being married, where would this lead to, a love with a thirty year margin?

My heart won’t listen to reason, I want to be with you……….still.

 

Something that’s just this good I have never experienced before,

It’s like getting drunk with nectar when I kiss you and I’m engulfed in your core,

I’m sharing you with others, I don’t mind cos with you I keep coming back for more,

No other love will do, I need to have you…….still.

 

Touching your face while you sleep, I remember vividly when I close my eyes,

The memory of your softness, the caress, bring forth from me a river of cries,

Death, so cruel, took you away, not giving us a chance to say our goodbyes,

Though you are no longer here, I feel you……….still.

Alas! Logic and love will never mix, and the thing is, if they did, we'd probably lose respect for both of them. Great stuff, Jo : )

So true are your words........not only does logic and love never mix but Cupid makes us fools when he shoots us down with his arrows....... Well said Chaos boo............. well said!

Hey!! good woody! thanx for loving this!! am so glad you like it.

When power leads man towards arrogance, poetry reminds him of his limitations. When power narrows the area of man's concern, poetry reminds him of the richness and diversity of existence. When power corrupts, poetry cleanses.
