For a Moment
I came for a moment
to find the hidden treasure
in rocks of your heart.
I am not a dream but fact
which can redraw boundaries
between people and countries.
If I have one day to live
I shall spend it in your quest
to find my spirit in your flesh.
Blood can’t be replaced by water
or love returned with enmity
or sin termed as sanctity.
Empty stomach accepts charity
a lover loses his dignity
in pursuit of his fairy.
I came for a moment but spent
a lifetime worshipping beauty
of your soul, face and body.
My fate hangs in balance
but mortals can’t wait for ever,
I need your selfless offer.
The weak don’t have much time,
they need help to breathe again
to sustain life and cure pain.
