I'Ll Write For Your Sake Poem by Sanjukta Nag

You are my midnight song
Spreading drowsiness over my soul
Yet keeping this body awake…
I said, “I don’t write for anyone’s sake.”
Now I leave my eyes open
To hear the sound of dawn
Breaking the curtain of misty clouds…
You said, “You are way too proud.”
I was also proud of you
On how you made my heart run
When you held it on your palms
Each time I glowed like a sun.

You are my Mediterranean sea
Floating smooth with waves of eternity
That’ll never touch my shore…
I wish I had loved you more.
You said, “Draw me a constellation.”
I chose crayon and paper
Instead of reaching for the sky…
It was very hard to cry goodbye.

You are my lost reason.
You are my hidden treasure.
You are the midnight song
Which brightens my pensive pleasure.
You are the Mediterranean Sea
Whom I can’t dream to measure.
Ask me again
To draw you a constellation,
I promise, I’ll tear up the sun
To create more shiny stars
And will undo what I had done.
You are my closest name
I utter with every breath I take,
Now if I write my dear,
I’ll only write for your sake.
