Heart-To-Heart Talks Poem by Barima Basoah

I wish to see you
and not just to see you
but that you will see me too.

I do see you,
Your image I see,
Even if I close my eyes.

From the many it's you that I miss
I cannot forget you,
not only about you but you.

And I don't know why
I keep knocking at your door,
still a mystery.

How long have you been knocking?
And for how long will you keep knocking?
Find the key and open to enter.

My day begins seeing you,
my sunset, brighten my day,
that I may see well.

I will water you,
to grow like a flower,
fully blooming at sunset.

You are a flower in a garden,
let me be the fence around it,
for your beauty is impeccable.

You are too rich for earth's use.
let me dig out the treasures in you,
as my only work in our entire life.

Your heart speaks, only my heart hears and understands
your heart beats and I feel it deep in me,
and that I know how you yearn for me.

Pay for the garden, and pluck the flower.
pay for the orchard, and press for fine wine.
let us adorn ourselves and drink to life.
