I Do: Collection of Inspirational Poetry

By Marina A. Popova

“I Do” is my 3rd Poetry book and it is very special. I put my heart and soul in writing those poems, expressing my feelings and thoughts. I finally found myself once again. I hope you will feel loved, knowing that there is someone out there, a very special person, who is dreaming to be with you, care about you, spoil you and make any of your dreams come true. Trust me, it's worth the wait. Please check my other Poetry and Short Stories Books “Don’t Look Down Babe”, “I Won’t Say I Love You”, “Marina’s Cloud 9”, they’re equally special and emotional.

Book preview

1) I Do

I found a bouquet of flowers

They were lilies with the handwritten note

I couldn’t stop wondering and smiling

This is was my favourite and the most sweetest quote

They were laying on the dining table

I was looking patiently for a clue

Suddenly I saw a box, it was moving

I am not sure, but I think I’ve heard a soft meow

It says, If it meant to be it will be

I am opening box’s cover, so unsure

I couldn’t believe but I am looking at a dwarf bunny

Ginger hair, brown eyes, he is so pure

Cute silk ribbon with blue bow

Gently resting on his tiny neck

I am smiling and raising my left brow

Note says, Pull it gently is it some kind of test?

I am looking silently at the diamond

As always stunned, I didn’t have a clue

Your hands are soft, I know I am loved

I turned my face, and whispered I Do.

2) Wonder

I count my lucky stars in silence

It’s a miracle that I have you by my side

You kissed my scars without any reasons

I am free, but was at the lowest point of my life

Where this road will take us

I wonder and ask myself why

Our existence dusted and settled

Into our love, I will never say goodbye

I am waiting for the right time to tell

How much I miss you in the middle of the night

It’s funny, you are right here, it’s so surreal

I feel you baby, as always by my side

There are times I needed you the most

My memories are raw and bleeding

Sometimes I feel so empty like a ghost

You filled me with hopes, I found a missing wing

I never regret being wrong

Right is just a word that needs to be fulfilled

I never asked for your love but we explode

You are my wonder, my loved and welcomed wind.

3) Skies Still Blue

I have to go with my love still burning

Humbled by reality and unspoken truth

It’s unfortunate but still the ending

I am feeling numbness which is kind of soothe

What will bring my sweet tomorrow

I am opening new chapter with amazing view

Villas, cars and infinite green meadows

All for one because I am giving up on two

I will sleep with me and a lonely shadow

Just for once, because the skies still blue

I am stepping on the waters, they’re shallow

Cup is empty, I gave everything to you

Paper vintage like old money

See me now while the skies still blue

I like to indulge in the purest honey

My bath is milky, there is a place for two

Living statues surrounding my morning

It’s amazing waking next to you

Let me touch your fingers with my eyes still closed

I feel you baby and I know you too

I have to go while winter snowing

To find my future and skies that blue

It’s unfortunate but still a sunny morning

Just for one, because I am giving up on two.

4) Releasing

Moving on is not about forgetting

Our wounded hearts are not a triathlon

It’s about living, loving and releasing

That very special and cherished person

Let me give you world without taking

Cards are flushing my fate is in reverse

Dear Misses Tarot you still saying

I will stay with him for better or worse

If you love somebody, let them go

Even if tomorrow promises all or nothing

There is a crystal sleeping in the tiny stone

You can find a reason even in empty something

I am writing myself a thank you letter

Sad lyrics from my favorite song

You promised time travel into forever

I am still wishing on the stars all night long

It hurts so much to let them go

The moon is glowing like the best starer

I always loved you for better or worse

Please let me walk away into the lonely November.

5) Karma

We are lost but wanted to be found

Releasing anything that stops our true love

There is no other way to go around

Love is pure, absolute, a gift of Divine from above

I want to know before we moving

What this love is mean to you

I am touching your heart with the sorrow

Let me tell you a story about my scars or maybe two

At first it hurts but then it heals

You don’t need morphine at your door

There are plenty of spinning karma wheels

But the one with fortune we at first unfortunately ignore

Have a life that you deserve

Don’t look down from the hills

It’s always getting on my nerves

Knowing that sometimes karma kills

Somehow, someday, somewhere

Love will heal and comeback to you

At first you may think it’s unfair

Losing her but sadly it can’t be undo

My shaky voice is full of despair

I am found by unfortunate and you

Karma gave us castle and a fresh breath of air

But we chose morphine and flew.

6) I Feel You

I feel your absence with this suffer

Numbness soothing like a pain

White is plain but still a colour

I am washing our honeymoon into the drain

Hopes unbreakable like my mornings

I feel you baby with all my crave

I am dreaming, please hold me tightly

I will follow you forever even into the darkest cave

I broke my wish because I was drowning

Underneath fidelity that didn’t exist

Time was up, you were counting

My pleasures, they have never been kissed

I lost my nest without loosing

Pain is bearable but not again

Those doves were you and me
