Tonight I will hide from the world
And sleep with my sorrows
I will remember how in my delusion
You are real, like my flesh
Heavens say my lovers are angels
And so does unreal stories
Now I'm a frozen battlefield
Of thoughts which I couldn’t draw
My mortal body lay alive shielded,
And unharmed
It abhors those, unlike you
Would I ask GOD why He called me
To pen about your surrendering self to Him?
I just adore your lovely hands that raise up
Your fragrant mouth that tastes nothing but grapes
Your lucid eyes like stars and spring
I curl in humility where you love only GOD
When I see you with other women
Holding tight and even, if kissing only friends,
I feel furious
I can see your imperfections haunting me
Like a world of explosion on my being
I am your mother who weeps
Your daughter who seeks you
Your wife who gets your shoes
Your sister feeding your kitchen
I have no face
If you forget me, I have gone miles away
I have left with traces of my dreams
Burned under boiling sun rays
If only for tonight,
Find me
Let me hide from the world
So I can know myself.
