just one light

As the bitterness of sun
and this earth, reaches
its peak, in this foggy
January, I remember you
and the fog and the mist
that clouded our hearts
to separate and live -
miles apart, separated
by a barren desert and
an endless ocean where
I stand and wait seeking
your reflection, your
signs in this air, trying
to find your fragrance
your little resemblance
to trace my footsteps
towards your street

I seek out and fight
with the sea to part
and leave a way for me
to walk on it to reach you
I battle the falling snow
to let the path be open
for me to reach out
to your city as soon
as the moon tells me
about your street and
your little windows
that remain open
for me, my presence
in your large expanse
of life, of your embrace

I look unto the stars
each day wondering
if they are destined to
be separated forever
like they appear today
or on any other night
with the moon light
or at times without
I look up to the moon
and ask what does it
gain by the little light
it brings on us in dark
when we are recollecting
memories of time we
had spend under its light
holding each other looking
out from our tiny window
up to it and the stars

Ah! Love, come see here
this life is passing by
and you tell me to wait
what use will be this wait
when you and I have to live
all this life, afar and separated
what use is this closeness
in the sky after our death
when only people on earth
will recollect, see us together
when we would be still
far apart as two distinct stars
each with its own light
how can we be two my love
when we are destined to have
just one life and let out
just one light after we are dead.
