Circa Amor - Poetry : "Burning Reasons for a Queen"

Burning Reasons for a Queen
d. steine

Because even the strongest of ice
Could be broken and melted to wash
Away the dirt and dust of yesterday.


Because this world is like that flower
Whose petals could only unfold and blossom
Along a stem whose skin is laced with thorns.


Because your smile is not meant
For absent eyes nor your voice to be
Stranded in the mouth of the harbor,
Like little boats without wind or sails.


Because I have been loved like no other,
So do you deserve to possess the love
You sought and never found
From my own.


Because even in your absence
I find refuge in the tomorrow we promised and so
I desire for you to rediscover your own.


Because your dreams may be yours,
But I would like to chase and witness
Their birth like the light of stars

Distant and silent
As we are now.
