~ by Kashif Qaimi
You are you…
How can I describe you in so few words?
You are everything that I adore, but cannot access
You are like the moonlight,
Which I can see, wrapped around my body.
I can feel her warmth upon my face,
But I cannot touch,
Neither can I have…
You are a cool sea breeze
Which one would miss if he wakes too late
And can never have again, no matter his desire
I am the one
Who woke up too late…
You are the dream which I see
While I am awake…
You are that pearl in the shell,
Lost in the ocean,
Impossible to bring back,
And I am the one who dropped that shell…
More words would I say,
But herein lies the truth:
It is you who are the moonlight…
It is you who are the cool sea breeze…
It is you who are the pearl…
You are the essence everything
Which I love, and yet cannot have.
