I Want To Love You
I want to feel you
like a petal feels the wind
I want to touch you
like dewdrops touch my skin
I want to hold you
like moon shadows hold a star
I want to tickle you
like the flutter of a butterfly
tickles my heart from fields afar
I want to lay my head upon your lap
like a child lays his head upon the lap
of a sterile mother in her fertile dream
I want to miss you
like an immigrant misses his home-land
The land which deceived his opportunities
yet embraced his early footsteps
Poured his first tear in a stream
I want to think of you,ardently
I want to seek for you,secretly
In the same way those paramour's enchanting eyes
seek and wander for his flamboyant mistress
I want to live dying to have you
like a hero dies in battlefield
dying to capture his daughter's smile
knowing that the last glimpse of her
is a worn out sanguined picture
I want to find you
in the same way my faith finds God
Without seeing,without knowing
With all doubts,questions and mysteries
With all that I was,with all that I am
and all I ever will be
I want to love you
