A collaboration by Peter Paton and Huda Orfali
..........................................................................
Away from you
I am a soldier without his heart
Beside my ballerina
Our world stands still
Yet she rotates alone
While the soldier flies
On wings of speed
Never to come home again
I gaze into your eyes
And see the look of eternity there
When our lips meet
Tis the taste of heaven
Yet it is a mirror
Her lonely reflection
Is all she sees
A heaven away from her reach
Her soldier is in a foreign land
Where love is a forbidden dream
Where a dream is a sin
Yet she dreams
Still the candle burns brightly
Knowing love will always prevail
For when two angels meet
Paradise opens every door

Love tinka
Where a dream is a sin
Yet she dreams
Wonderful expression of determination and the triumph of love over adversity and war
Well done, Huda & Peter

Very nice collab; brava! bravo! Well done!!
(((HUGS))) and much love, your friend in America, Karen Lynn. :D
Your poem is powerful!
"...love will always prevail..." Yes, yes may love overtake war!! This may occur if the ballerina ran the world. "The hand that rocks the cradle is the hand that can run the world". "Women" are intrinsically empowered with true love and care! Love for the children; the innocents, is far greater than “More Land”—the Sanskrit meaning for “War”.
Thank you for sharing this beautiful souls!
And, I love the pic!
Love, Suzie :-D
