Waiting for You, My Lover

 

Oh my lover, where art thou?

As the moon envelops the sun

As the sky meets the oceans,

And as we taste the warmth of each other’s breath

Let us not prolong the night

And taste the sweetness of each other’s bud.

 

Oh my lover, where art thou?

My mountains are waiting

Grasp it with all your might,

And push hard the very bosom where it lies

My waters are overflowing

Drifting across layers of soft mounds.

 

Oh my lover, where art thou?

Enter the inner boulders of my sanctuary

Wet the earth with your blessings,

And let a thousand bolt breaks the monotony of silence

As quickly as the earth quakes beneath,

Heaven is celebrating.

 

 

 

 

Oh my lover, where art thou?

Sway to the rivers rhythm

Glide with the thunderous waves,

And enter wide the mouth of welcoming ocean

As it bounce back the echoes of the depth

Pushing, tearing, and ripping apart.

 

Oh my lover, where art thou?

I am forever waiting, sweating

On the shore of hope,

And lying on its empty sand

Naked, inviting, biting

Come my darling, come, the portal is open.

 

Oh my lover, where art thou?

The penetrating heat I can’t be no more

A time lapse and you’re gone.

Back to your abode, back to mine

As the dark covers the secret

Of hidden treasure, lies bygone, forgotten.
