Structure and Style

The poem follows a rhythmic and lyrical structure, making it easy to read and deeply moving. Akida uses rhyming couplets that create a soothing flow, reinforcing the sincerity of the emotions expressed. The repetition of affectionate words like love, heart, and dear further amplifies the warmth and tenderness of the message.

Imagery and Symbolism

Akida skillfully employs imagery and symbolism to convey the depth of his love. Phrases like “Yet in my heart, you shine so near” and “For time is kind to those who wait” paint a picture of unwavering affection and hope. The poem suggests that love is not confined by physical presence; rather, it thrives on emotional connection and faith in the future.

Full Poem

A Love Beyond Distance

It pains me, love, to be away,
On this bright and tender day.
Yet in my heart, you shine so near,
A love so deep, forever dear.

Though miles may stand between our touch,
My heart still beats for you so much.
No distance strong enough to part,
The love we hold within our heart.

For time is kind to those who wait,
And fate will weave a perfect date.
When hand in hand, we’ll laugh and share,
A love so true, beyond compare.

So, till that day, my heart will stay,
Wrapped in your love in every way.
Happy Valentine’s, my sweetest one,
Our love’s a story just begun.
