What You Mean to Me (Poem)

 



You're  the  apple  to  my  pie,
the  beat  to  my  heart,
the  clouds  to  my  sky,
and the aim to my  dart.

The  princess  to  my  castle,
the  spirit  to  my  game,
the  relief  to  worldly  hassle,
and  the  fame  to  my  name.

You're  the  medicine  when  I'm  down,
the  activeness  when  I'm  fine,
the  jewels  to  my  crown,
and  the  brightness  to  my  shine!

You're  the  heat  to  my  fire,
the  frost  to  my  ice,
the  strength  to  my  desire,
and  the  truth  to  my  lies.

You  are  my  priceless  treasure,
the  music  to  my  song,
turning  sadness  into  pleasure,
the  righteousness  to  my  wrong.

The  liveliness  to  my  memories,
the  numbers  to  my  maths,
the  words  to  my  stories,
and  the  light  to  my  paths.

To  my  eyes  you're  the  sight,
the  tears  in  which  they  drench,
the  luminescence  to  my  light,
and  the  desire  I  can't  quench.

You're  the  splendour  to  my  smile,
the  beauty  to  my  face,
the  success  when  I'm  futile,
and  the  motivation  in  my  race.

Still  when  you're  far  away,
I  can  feel  the  blood  in  your  veins,
nights  pass  longer  than  days,
without  you,  my  life  is  in  vain.

For  you,  these  songs  I  write,
and  for  you  my  heart  sings,
for  I  can't  let  you  out  of  my  sight,
because  you  are  my  everything!

Welcome to the Literary Locus

The Literary Locus is a Blog which has been created with the purpose of publishing original, unique, creative and passionate works of literature which add to the open access of literary works around the globe. Reading is perhaps one of the greatest of all language skills, as George R.R. Martin said: "A reader lives a thousand lives before he dies . . . The man who never reads lives only one." Thus we must strive to read more, to enjoy more and to imbue the art of enjoying good fiction. See the following video to understand the relationship between fiction and reality. The Blog is presently maintained by me (Alwyn Carvalho) and may be updated at regular intervals. We hope you enjoy and share these articles among your friends. While it has started off as a project for my M.Li.Sc. Course, and as it is an exciting project, I shall strive to constantly update with new compositions and impressions. You may reach out to me using the Blog Email in my profile for any queries and reque...

Sailing Home (Poem)

Image
  Vast  oceans  so  bright, dancing  waves  rolling  by, waters  shimmering  with  light, I  can  hear  the  thunders  cry, no  land,  no  shore  at  sight, only  tides  low  and  high. Leaving  behind  all  my  woes, we're  sailing  towards  freedom, the  wind  leads  us  where  it  goes, to  a  mysterious  kingdom, where  there  are  no  worries  or  throes, to  a  life;  so  called  awesome. Difficulties  and  obstacles, need  to  be  boldly  faced, just  waiting  for  miracles, takes  you  nowhere  near  the  best, the  beauty  of  a  spectacle, is  the  feat  that  I've  embraced. It's  been  a  long...

Deepest Point (Poem)

Image
Deep  within  my  Soul, lies  a  great  desire, no  words  can  console, nothing  can  quench  its  dire. The  first  time  when  I  saw  you, it  was  love  at  first  sight, you're  the  limit  to  my  purview, to  my  darkness,  the  only  light. I  realised  I  was  lost, drenched  within  my  greed, forlorn  as  I  was, I  over-looked  my  needs. A  dream  hard  to  resist, is  to  live  up to  our  dreams, as  long  as  love  exists, its  the  golden  heart  which  gleams. Above  the  earth  so  low, lives  the  vast  sky, I  still  love  my  doe, a  mistake  I  regret  yet  retry. L...
