Lover’s Last Wish

Lover’s Last Wish

No, I will not name you; you are my

Darling who I loved from my heart,

Like a mad man; Believe me, my

Incomparable sweetheart! I have not broken

Your heart, rather you have broken mine!

I am not the fictional anti-hero Heathcliff,

Created by Emily Bronte in Wuthering Heights,

Whom Catherine never loved; yet she

Proclaimed from the Olympian heights that

“My love for Heathcliff resembles the eternal

Rocks beneath”; even she said that

“He’s more myself than I am”!

Yet what went wrong between them, I

Can’t say much about; but I am reminded

Of his heartfelt outpouring-“In my soul and

In my heart, I’m convinced I’m wrong”;

I’m afraid, my love! is my love going

The Heathcliff way? you know that

I will never break your heart, and my love

For you will never wane like a burning

Candlelight of ordinary wax; our love stories

Will be heard and told by generations yet

To come;

Being judgmental is not the ways of lovers,

And you should refrain from others’ callings;

Without your love, the lights would be out

Of my inner world, so full of joy; but on

My lips, only your name will appear like

Pleasing notes of melody, when I bid adieu

To this beautiful world, on that fateful moment!
