I see you in moon’s,
I see you in star’s light,
as their glimmer blankets
the roads, homes, valleys
and ceaseless sky…
Reciprocating the eyes
seeking to extinguish darkness with light
“I am yours, just –
slip your fingers into mine…”
I see you in waves
I see you in tides,
as they run across the miles
and dance on bed of sea
infinite…
Reciprocating to the wind
that takes them into an arm
“I am yours, just –
slip your fingers into mine…”
I see you in rains,
I see you in cloud’s sigh,
that falls across the land
and holds under its spell
the magic infinite…
Reciprocating to the skies
that caresses them tight
“I am yours, just –
slip your fingers into mine…”
I see you in lows,
I see you in highs,
the ranges that are spread
atop the river’s spine,
as far as they see, the naked eyes…
Reciprocating to the sight
that chases it beyond all lines
“I am yours, just –
slip your fingers into mine…”
I see you in dreams,
I see you in rhymes,
those moments that carry
the poems sublime, with which
you compose symphony of life.
Reciprocating each heart beat,
tracing silage, for last location and sign,
“I am yours, just –
slip your fingers into mine…”
—
But you’re not here… my love,
you’re in my mind,
as a silhouette left
after the Sun has drowned.
– A light, that lingers,
even after star has ventured
far away.
In each moment that
I come closer,
I try to make you mine…
But you slip…
from my embrace
like I am trying to hold
a water or sand
too tight…
You’re a happiness that I find,
amidst a time when
one moment lapses onto another…
right at those intersections
where one line meets the other
to complete a circle.
And as much as I want
that moment to last,
I still find myself in void
after I loose your trail…
fortunately often
with moist on my lips to tell,
infinite did kiss the finite.
– Dedicated to those infinities that every finite wants to hold on to, for as long as possible…

It’s beautiful. 🙂
Thank you. 🙂
Very beautiful!
Thank you, Myriam. 🙂
I was somehow very captivated by the two times you did rhyming using the word “finite”:
“as they run across the miles
and dance on bed of sea
infinite…”
–
“infinite did kiss the finite”
And this:
“But you’re not here… my love,
you’re in my mind,
as a silhouette left”
Loved it. The best part. Since I found it very relatable.
Thank you, Aeras. 🙂 For such a detailed comment.
I wanted to foreshadow the end with those rhymes in start just like I wished to establish a theme with those patterned couplets. 🙂
I envy you for being so good at expressing your thoughts.
