A Moment with You

Are you my friend or my love

Who are you, my dear

You ask me to sleep on your lap

You lean on my shoulder

But when I come closer, you say I’m just a friend

Why do you hold me so tightly

Devour me until my soul is gone

I melted like wax in your warmth

Oh, my poetry, will you fall in love with me?

Even in dreams, you appear

Touching my eyelids, waking me up

Every night, I survive through death

What’s your answer? Tell me, it’s you

I stood longing for a drop of water

You gave me a downpour

And swept me away

I stood carrying crosses

You gave me comfort

And lifted me high

The teardrops at the edge of my eyes

You replaced them with joy and dried them away

In a desert, you gave me flowers

And showed me heavens close to my sight

In blackness, I dreamed

Morning felt like night

Oh, angel in white

You brought colors and stood near me

In the darkness, I stood alone

You lit fireflies to guide me

Trapped in an empty room

You gave me wings to soar

Like an island battered by waves

I felt stuck and adrift

Like a flower crushed under ritual feet

I withered away

God never comes to Earth

He sends a mother instead

Even that mother is not here for me

So, He gave me a mother

In the form of you
