With and without her

Without her,
The river has dried out.
The foundation has gone weak,
for the bridge has broken.
The leaves have squeezed.
The birds have flown away,
the Spring never returned.
Death has oveshadowed Life.

Wait is endless.
There are no signs of her shadow,
People say that she has not come
to our doors for months now.
But I can feel her in my heart
every moment shaking my aching spirit.

Her return is eminent,
for my existence.
for bridge to erect,
for trees to stand tall,
for leaves to grow again,
for birds to fly back,
for spring to return.
For life to conquer death.

Just for YOU...

I wait for you by your window,
Just to see you once each day,
Just to wipe your tears,
Just to put smile on your face,
Just to hold you tight,
Just to be there always with you,
Just to sit besides your elbow,
Just to touch your soft hands,
Just to give my life only for you.

I wake up each moment to think for you,
Just to offer prayer for your dreams for you.
Without you I die each day for you.
I am here for the rest of life for you,
I am here to give the best of my life only for you.

You are here...

Look you who come walking
you who are alive
You who have strayed
all the way out here
See the home, the painting
so many layers.

You who come so near
see old board, the border of houses
and rotten handles
on something that once had
your name, something mineral
An opening in
a door that swings
on the outskirts of my heart.
