Poet-Today ~ Sa'id Sa'ad
DEAR LOVE
Dear love,
I long to see your eyes
The white round balls like moon
My eyes has turned into a sea
Pushing worries and grief to its
shores
When I remember your angelic
looks
The heart talks like an empty
vessel
Of when it will find rest
And a hope that it will never
sail farther.
Dear love,
I have wept while smiling
Days, weeks and months yet to
count
Lips dried and shrank
I stood on the hot rain
As it drips on my cheek
And flows down with cold tears
Mind continue to walk and wonder
Thinking of where it will grin
That place under the evergreen
tree
Where those two hearts smile
Dear love,
Is this how it feels to miss?
More like walking in a flame
A flame of new burning log
The log that became our barrier
The barrier that made me walk
On bare earth with my tongue
Wishing you will send a wind
That will come and take me home.
