My Beloved

All my desires have combined

and have merged into one wish

to hold you close to me.

All my tears have gathered

and turned into a stream

to wash your feet, my beloved.

I am in total silence

as my tongue will sing

only your songs, my love.

I am awake whole night,

not blinking

fearing I might doze of.

You may come

at dawn or midnight.

I am all attention for

your light steps

which might get lost

in the sound of the breeze.

Ticking of the clock

tells me, time is passing.

Chirping of birds

gives the signal of dawn.

I am not disappointed,

I know you will come

one day.

If you so wish,

I will wait for you

till eternity.

 

Something worse happening

Let me sketch my thoughts on the sand

Watch as the waves destroy to destroy them

Let me close my eyes for a while

Hear the best moments pass by

Let me know what it is to be dead

To enjoy being alive

Let me justify my existence

By doing something worthwhile

Let me find the difference

My life is supposed to make

Let me be a coward

Prepare for risks I need to take

Let me do things my way

Let me fail repeatedly and learn

Let me watch success go by I will know it all, in turn
