An Angel’s Visit

At night , an angel comes to me flying from moon.

And behind the veil gives me a beautiful flower.

Saying that it grew on the moon’s soil and now it belongs to me.

Every night , on every petal of every flower , have I seen ;

The reflection of your face and smelled the odor of your skin.

*********************************************

When you sit beside me , I disconnect from this world.

And I float in an unknown world far away from this place.

I shatter within Me , I collect within You.

Your arrival seizes my peace, my feelings , my mortality

And all of Me.
***************************************

Your Arrival
Your arrival is a painful death to my solitary world.

My fragile mind loses its pace and wanders aimlessly like a lost traveller.

Your scent arrests the air I breathe.

It holds the surroundings and my nerves in its clutch.

You sitting beside me is blissful for both worlds.

As I see that its not only me who is enslaved by your scent,

But even angels and demons who forget their duties when they smell your scent,

and sit around in a circle to witness your magnificence.

Your arrival has made my blood lose its trace, my eyes grow weak, my sight weakens.

I fade. My heart thumps faster. I’m lulled into a sleep where I dream only of you.

Guide my senses to their state for I lose myself if I stay with you.

At last, your time to leave has come. Your connection with me fades away.

Your departure smears a wave of melancholy on us all.
