A Thousand Lives (Free verse) by amateurR
One life will not do justice-
To the love I want to give you
I would need a thousand lives
To love you.
A hundred to see you, till I knew
Every spot on your body
Till your every vein and every bone
Was imprinted on my mind
Another hundred to touch you
Stroke every part of you
Inside and out
Outside and in
Maybe a few hundred would pass
In becoming one with you
Till the rhythm of our breathing
Coincided
A hundred more it would take
For me to express it in words
For how can one life of words
Convey the love of a thousand
I would need another hundred lives then,
To embrace you
Till your body and soul
Were embossed on mine
At the end of a thousand lives-
I would ask for a thousand more
Oh! My lips have not met yours yet
My desires have been bound by a time too short
A thousand lives will not do justice
To the love I need to give you-
I need an eternity
To love you
