Love came to me like sunshine
So bright, cheerful, and invigorating
I didn’t just open the window
All the doors of my heart were thrown open
It moved freely lighting up
every corner
The beautiful luminous mornings
Long intimate afternoons
I thought it would never end.
The spring had come to me
Each breath that I drew in filled me up
With the soft breeze of love
Hold my arms and we will fly over the clouds
That sweet unspoken offering of
love
I had put all my faith in that
Why one must reject it I couldn’t understand.
It’s like we opened the bottle
to fill our glasses
But couldn’t take a sip
I wish I could understand the
hesitation
Does a bottle opener knows the pain of humiliated glass
Full to its rims untouched and
unsipped
Or does a glass knows the bottle opener’s heart
Filling the cup only to push it aside
In any case this is how we are
Drifting apart in confusion with each passing moment
The sun is setting upon us
The black night is spreading beyond ash colored evening
The stars come out only to
commiserate upon us
It is time to close the doors
Shut the windows tight
The darkness is my silent companion
The sunshine burns my heart now
To my surprise I again see you under my window
I admire your perseverance
Today you asked again for a chance
The love serenade sounds like shattered crystal falling
around
My heart screams upon me to open the door for you
But I just lean against it
The feel of hard cold wood
Seeps in my veins
An icy patch upon the burning love
Standing in the darkness
I just wait for the moon to rise.
