Longing On My Journey.

"Chronicles Of A Wanderer."

1/

In the heart of the pale night You emerge as a poem within my blood For there is nothing more alive Than longing on my journey

2/

Before I close my eyes I spell out the faint flicker of stars. When the pre-dawn rain intensifies the darkness

It is the place where the prayers of all who long are finally laid to rest.

Flickering stars like the eyes of dream guardians in a quiet earth. When everyone has fallen asleep in my town. For tomorrow morning there will be a thousand plans that are no more meaningful than one reality in front of open eyes but forgotten.

3/

Your thick hair, like a torrential rain in the drought of my yearning, brings a cooling breeze wrapped in winter’s embrace.

And with every strand you carry the scent of Khuld (Tree of Immortality). For your return (Eve) to Adam’s primeval chest in the core of my heart.
