Unknown Love

Saatchi Art Artist Jovica Kostic

Alone and crying

In the rain

Remembering how

I left again

 

Will these tears

Drown in my pain?

Or will this pain

Just leave some stain?

 

The faces, the hearts

That I’ve craved

So much time

So many I tried to save

 

Did I not see them?

Or how they saw me?

Did I walk

Away too quickly?

 

I’m sorry to my unknown love

Sorry I didn’t rise above

Sorry I never saw you coming

Sorry I never knew your love

 

Did I miss some

Chance out there?

Or was it something

My heart couldn’t dare?

 

Was I too unfocused then?

Or too focused enough for them

Were they trying way too hard?

When I was falling apart like shards

 

My heart is blind

And so have been my eyes

Maybe it’s just

The way I disguise my pride

 

Was I just too

Afraid to try?

Until we finally

Had to say goodbye

 

I’m sorry to my unknown love

Sorry I didn’t rise above

Sorry I never saw you coming

Sorry I never knew your love

 

I wish I’d seen you

Like you saw me

I wish I knew you

Like you knew me

I wish I loved you

Like you loved me

 

I’m sorry to my unknown love

Sorry I didn’t rise above

Sorry I never saw you coming

Sorry I never knew your love

One Moment, One Second

my hand, your cheek

your lips swallowing me

kiss me and make me believe

just make it an eternity

give me a memory

something to sleep with

cause I know, after this

I’ll be destroyed, really

 

But I choose it

even if, but once

just a second

just a moment

a memory

to last me

for a lifetime

I could remember that one time

when I was myself

 

just one kiss, oh please

so I can remember

that for at least

one moment

my breath was stolen

that for just a fraction of time

my heart was yours

and yours was mine

 

just that glimmer of emotion

something passed devotion

that gives my memory some hope

maybe just maybe

I can hold

this one kiss

close to my breast

and never forget

for that one minor kiss

one tiny moment

I was where

I should have been

 

for a brief spark

ignited by that kiss

my lifetime of work

lingered within it

the culmination

of what I had strived for

had been completed

I had learned the lessons

did the research

now I’ve reaped the reward

the moment is Over

 

the memory planted

but the time has stolen it

that sacred kiss

what was found

in that one moment

fleeting the seconds may be

like sands in the hourglass

there is no way back

once here, now gone

the warmth of the kiss

the glow from below

the sting of the blow

 

moments are gone

memories do fade

but never the second

that moment

that i slaved

 

crawling, kneeling, begging

for release

once i found it

i had already committed it

to my memory

 

the feeling may fade

but those words

those images Do Not

they live within my heart

burning bright

reminding me of a time

when i was Alright

when the seas had parted

when the rains had stopped

a time when for just one second

i was at peace

i was clean

i was who & what

i was meant to be

 

memory remains

when time fades

either way

i’ll Always have

my one second

my one moment

my memory of that kiss

that teased bliss

it’ll get me through

all the monotony

i’ll dream of it

i’ll feast in the depths

of what coulda’, shoulda’

but never did

and that will be

the moment i keep
