Taste of love


 

Taste of love  

I didn’t see the wonders of love

Until your eyes gazed into mine

 

I didn’t feel the warmth of love

Until your hand reached out to mine

 

I didn’t sense the joy of love

Until your heart danced with mine

 

I didn’t know the taste of love

Until you held me in your arms

 

Hold me closer

Hold me tighter

Hide me safely

In your heart

When I held the world


When I held the world  

There, on the top of the mountain

I sat with you

You held me in your arms

And in my arms I held the world

 

There on the top of the mountain

Dawn spread its wings out … took a deep breath

Embraced us with a smile

Daisies looked at you

 Yearning to be picked up, as you crowned me with 

The stream invited us to dip our feet in

Join its mystic dance

Hills dozed off, dreaming of a life resembling ours

The breeze whispered the tale of our love

Our hearts discovered heaven

 

There, on the top of the mountain

I needed no more

I desired no more

In my arms I held the world

Without you


 

Without you

  

A wingless dove… struggling to survive

A dry flower… Fighting for its life

A soulless body… I linger

Without you by my side

 

A drained heart

Like Moses’ mother’s

Gazing at the basket

As her baby drifted away

Exhausted by yearning

Forever waiting

 

Hopelessly

Searching for your voice

In your old files and papers

 

Looking for your heartbeat

Between the pages of your diary

 

Running after your footsteps

Amid garden grass and sand grains

 

 Seeing your face in all the faces

In all pictures and in all magazine covers

 

In vain

Craving for your hug

Chasing your breath

Clinging to your shadow

Following your smile

Finding nothing

But the echo of despair

 

Without you by my side

I am barely a human mirage

Trapped


Trapped

 

Every morning

I wake up

 

Into my nightmare 

Stretching my arm out

 

 

YOU ARE NOT THERE

My heart screams

 

I want to break FREE

And follow you
