ISSUE NO 3 : POEM

WHEN I WAS IN LOVE WITH YOU

I was brave
Happy for the first time
I was alive
Learned how to laugh
And to keep my smile
I dared the world to say
NO....
To put my hands into fire
To touch the moon
To talk out loud
And to stay silent.
******************
When I was in love with you
I was beautiful
Even cheeks turned red
And lips were sweet
I was young
Innocence and wilderness in me.
********************
When I was in love with you
I was alive
I lived every day
And wanted more
Like I tasted the life fountain
And couldn't have enough.
*****************
When I was in love with you
I could see
I could feel
I was happy
I was free
Only when I was
In love with thee.
