eyes to blink

my eyes carry a pain
for they need to blink
but desire of your face
does not let them close
for what if you were
to come for an instant
and I would lose you
in that one off blink
I would then never ever
forgive myself for not
having seen you again

I live each day, here
hoping for that glimpse
with each passing day
my hope turns into
an act of despair for
you do not come and
when I turn around at
noise of any foot steps
hoping that its you
I see faces I do not know
faces the world may like
but for me that face is
not the one am waiting
for that face is not yours

A seek to see your face
without worries or fear
without pain or anguish
smiling and happy as it can
for there is no pain of yours
that I cannot take away
only if you are willing
to let it go and let me
carry it with me far away
and even when you are
there with me , O beloved
that pain will remain far
far far away from you
so that your face retains
its innocence that it had
on the day I saw you

Am afraid my love
to say anything to you
for am afraid that my act
may unknowingly hurt
you and make you sad
make you feel bad
and steal away a bit
of innocence from
your glowing bright face
Am afraid of myself
and hence I do not
say a word to you
yet I desire your face
desire a glance of you
for me to live, for my
eyes to blink and rest.
