PRISON LOVE

I wanted to think of love later
Before writing this love letter
Cos clandestine's how I met her
And valentines' when I met her

Feather-like earrings adorned her ears
Her approaching stilletos heralded fears
That her fierce father'd soon see us
And Melissa's eyes filled with tears

Dear,dry those angelic eyes, love
Be assured Cupid gave what we have
Be sure light'll burst in from above
And bring in this war,Picasso's dove

Nay distance can put forth no sunder
Even outside Verona, Romeo's still a thunder
For my soul you set on fire,Melissa Amanda
And this romantic charm none can plunder.

Under the silent moonlight that night
Our interlaced hands glowed so bright
Our intertwined souls gave us new sight
Despite the glare of darkness bite

For you will be my bride n I your groom
Despite your dad's court that denied us room,
Room to let what we have to bloom.
His royal stature said trouble'd loom

All in the name of my family's modesty
But Melissa how i adore your honesty
For out you jumped of the boat of royalty
To swim with me to our love-filled eternity.

Even as I look over these bars, I sigh
For indeed I am under your beautiful sky
Though in chains n pain I still can fly
my love for you's mighty,heavens high

The oceans of the world cannot dilute
No switch can break cupid's circuit
An unstoppable flow nature sh'd salute
Too firmly planted,no man can uproot

This shoot,none can stop from sprouting
just to assure you darling if you're doubting.
Thy father's cruelty's only fueling
the fire in mine's deepest feeling

i'm writing this story on the wall
So history'd never forget at all
that to you I gave all my soul
with a love that stood so tall

Even as my nails n flesh tear
celestial rays down at me glare
This deathly pain I can bear
i'll love you till the end,I swear

I'm writing on these walls of torture
I had to 'pluck' of my own feather
And use the red ink of nature
To write a story like no other

As my finger nails painfully rupture
As I strive to write the last chapter
For my passionate,fairest lover
(Since I do unendingly love her),

Let mine soul depart in peace
like gentle wind does to dry leaves.
Praying that Melissa reads this piece
written with a hope to express this:
Before true love,all adversity kneels!
