For you



When you smile, an angel smiles, may it be a killing one
When you talk, a nightingale sings, sometimes I howl alone
When you walk, a drunken snake, each move curved into fantasy
When you cry, an innocent baby does, each tear rare as pearl
When I smile, an eagle’s shout, loud shrill and unclear seismic
When I talk, a stone to the rock, sometimes once in a while
When I walk, head down to ground with guilt, each move regret a step
When I cry…, each night
It’s meant for you
When the wind whispers holding my mind to the pace
When the sun shines, each day to light your life
The moon keeps throwing dew drops to mine
When the rain drops enchant your eternal dignities
A deity forbids you to be me
It’s meant for you
But,
When a poor heart mourns
When a decent one, hides its attributes
When a breathe whispers him to die
When a tornado passes him by
A chill life moist with cold
When loneliness haunts his silence
Then
It’s all meant for me,
It’s not for you at all
It’s my prayers work for you
It’s my happiness gifted to you
It’s my last wish for you before the last one
It’s the final one in the command line
All vulgar and still
Each prayer would meant for you
All just for you
Till the end of time
For you and always for you
