SHARING MY NIGHT

Sharing my night

In this mild low light,

With ice and fire,

Puzzled by the riddle of the gyre,

Hiding behind you

By turning into your shadow, 

Hiding from what or whom

I really don't know. 

Chasing you from dawn to dusk, 

Have you ever wanted to ask

What I want from you?

I'm looking for you.

No sense of the world,

I'm ashamed of my own sigh,

Your voice in my ear makes me fly.

Waiting to be your prisoner, 

Oh, waiting is an embarrassing hassle, 

Your arms are my castle. 

Confession of my restless heart:

I don't want to lose you,

Can you hear me?

I'm looking for you.

Diurnal dreams can easily 

Turn into infatuation, 

Perhaps it's just my craziness, 

For me it's more than desire,

Enjoy my love, it is my passion.

I pray that the essence

Of my presence 

Becomes a Tsunami in your mind,

Be my Braille, my devotion is blind...!!!
