If Only to Look into Your Eyes.



Hands clasped,
    graceful steps on the lawn
    led to a heavenly spot
    where we laid down
    and simply took in each other's breaths...

    [Fear of hurting... went down the drain.
                                  Secured in peace... by our love's rain]


We had our fingers
    to trace the horizon in multicolour,
    and then our eyes
    to spot the most unique scene
    a human mind
    could ever make up...

   
[Our faith shaped the cotton
                                 to match our heart beats
                                               and we were alive once again]

Then,
    with my head on your chest,
    ears listening intuitively
    to the lullaby your heart been playing
    for none...
                  none but me...
    I came to finally understand,
    that your love is infinite...
    as your eyes' depth,
    an outer space;
    images upon images
    of affection...

   
[A heart shaped cloud
                           overlapped our universe]

Oh darling,
    I'd bring down the skies...
                        run down the mountains...
                                                drain out the seas...
    ... if only to look into your eyes
                 and say these three little words:

                                                          'I love you'

 

    in an eternal embrace of gratefulness

    for your mere existence 

    in my life...
