My only love
– Faruque Sayed
When the sun rises
The world has turned again.
Another day passes.
Another month, another year,
In fact ages, taken away without a motion,
From us both, in our separation.
Ages have passed, since
Last I heard you whisper my name, or
Asked me to hold your hand, or
You sang for me in your sweet slow voice.
Ages have flown and passed soon
Since I felt your kiss under the virgin moon.
Tears are only shed in the core of my heart,
And my sighs are only the echoes of my solitude.
How do I explain, what you mean to me?
When there are no spoken words that exist.
For no one would notice, no one would hear!
I am but only the unknown whisperer.
How do I explain your warmth, vivacity and love,
framed-in your quiet little smile?
How do I show my bleeding heart, when all around are blinds?
My heart still beats using your pulse,
But your empty eyes mourn and stare,
When there is no one to compare?
I know the world will turn again,
Night into a morn, and the morn into a day,
Night doesn’t know that its end is near.
But I know my shadows will retreat
And my immortal world will never turn again,
For you are my mortal love, nothing to regain.
Girl! I know I love you and always will,
And my love cannot be broken or faltered.
It is eternal love from me to you.
You bear the beacons and I carry the flame
So I wait for you on the other side, all the same!
Your loving ghost, Sergie.
