I Should Not Be Carried Away- Poem

Saki/2nd quarter 1999
Velezian days

Sometimes when i’m in the worst of adversity,
There she comes unselfishly consoling me.
My ego was heightened, I felt esteemed,
Everyday and night 'till dawn redeemed.

From there and then I am held upright,
No harsh insults would beckon me tight.
But when I am lost when betrayed by pride,
A tale of hope is there everytime she smiled.

What wonders me most is her beauty might not,
Rather than her awesomeness and fidelity she’s got.
In the midst of time what my heart always reap,
For me is to doubt, for her is to keep.

No strings attached, no but’s nor if’s,
To this maiden I care who molded me stiff.
With all my calms and foremost aims,
She had it all in a one-day’s fame.

Seconds to minutes to hours I wait,
to see and ponder of my lonesome fate.
I’m afraid somehow that these all may
halt for a sudden,
Furthermore and more too hard for a burden.

Not so long, not so fast I feel to comply,
Within myself need I not to deny.
Will myselft still withstand to the pressures I am in?
May be naught, may be yes no matter what it might bring.

After all not so blue yet untiringly happy,
I hope to her that what I feel is noteworthy.
Behind all scenes, perhaps whatever chances relay,
It is then that should I not be CARRIED AWAY...

This piece was written a decade ago emphasizing the power of affection. Love indeed is gratified simply thru this norm, indicative of self-esteem and determination. “For every man’s success and fallacy, there always be love behind.
