Down To Earth Poem by Moez Ben Meftah

Down to Earth


By chance we met in the morn about nine
The night was tender, the weather's fine
Both agreed and came to sign
In October just before twenty nine

Precious...ime I have no scheme
Sly I look or so I seem, but
Frank I am and so is my theme
Believe me my sweetie....im

Gloom has gone once for all
It was you who gave the call
Days ago I was dull I was a doll
now the world is fine 'n I am all

I loved twice this is thrice,
In my heart there is a bias
For nobody but your eyes
Serene they are, they are nice

What was done I say was done
And we are two again
But let the two turn to one
Very soon like the moon, like the sun

I am proud I do not lie
And I am sometimes shy
So you are and so ok
The past's gone and eternity is today

But be yourself and not me
To be able to hear and see
Who is who and who is she?
Otherwise we couldn't be

I need your soul more than ever
Please come soon for thy lover
You are his bed and his cover
he is cold going to shiver

Dark lady, thee I love
down to earth and not above
I am the hand you are the glove
From your heart I couldn't shove

I am yours, thou art mine
You are the rhythm and the rhyme
You are the sense of every line
If you vanish could they come to combine?
