In The Shadow of Your Eyes

Doaa Abdelfattah on Nov 3, 2009

When love is sweet and painful, you just can’t escape.

You are my grief and joy,

my wound and my rainbow,

my prison and freedom.

You are my myth

and the clay from which I was created.

You are mine, with all your wounds.

You are my sun at its setting,

and my lightened night.

You are the death of me and the kiss of life.

    Very beautiful poem

    It sounds like love to me. It also seems to me that love is not a perfect state. I guess that’s because we are talking about love among human beings.
