A Promise and Clothes of Time
September 9,2010
1.
The first thing to do is burst
My heart, my soul, my mind
The tiny breath of life let blow, let flow
In the sublime gift of sky wind and water
My feet arising from the ocean’s bottom
Will walk the waves of the earth and stones,
The galaxy my playground
I will run in both ends of North and South
East and West, time and dreams
Stars one by one will bounce like twinkles of diamonds
I will come naked -
Playing in the wind,
In the forest dawn till dusk
Sun and moon will be the pins of my hair
Flowers will dance with me
In spring and autumn
And in the summer, its breeze will free
All the kisses I have kept
Through the years,
Those I have saved and endured for you
2.
I still cry
My tears couldn’t stop
They’re like waves that return to the shore
GOD’s watchin’
He saw how I bruised and scarred the planets
And how aliens chained me, when I could have
Exploded cities
Instead of hiding from wars
Guns were out there seizing everything I had
That was you
I haven’t grown
All I wanted was a flower on my hair
And a kite to fly
My only desire was to chant
With waves and tides
With thunder and lighting
I still miss the bones of your hands
Those lips that rocked my ribs
Those gaze that skinned the metamorphosis
Of my flesh
All that was you when your mouth kissed
All that was you in my night fall and
Sweet dawn
All that was
You - inside every atom
That collide dusts of an earth in me
My body molded in the sand and crumbs of history
Would always remember
How we held tightly like twigs on trees,
Veins in heartbeats
Our thoughts,
The sun soaked into water
Immerse brisk
Cone - clouds of generations
Your smell lingers a purple Rose
Of spilled perfume to the Red Sea
Would you leave me or
Take me till death
In different clothes of time
Swearing in faith?
