'I Look At You' Poem by Rudan A. Matiga

My soul is muffed as I look at you in a moonless sky,
Behind that farthest star above unreach'd by sight...
Filled my heart with deeper longing my being can endure,
You left a thought, my spirit talks with somber music
That gives me the truer meaning of life in dark of night.

The night emptied all my dreams! I lit a little star,
It shimmers in my eyes but failed to illuminate the part
You left behind. A hidden spark lights the darken path,
The old and worn out thoughts will live and in a while...
Will put together the timeless words and shattered dreams.

Again I look; you put that star above to see you smile,
Rekindling a flame frozen in time, a feeling undefiled,
With words unsaid need to be uttered; with love unseen
Ought to be sung. Away from my grasp my happiness is far,
That I'm not worthy to hold a flower or a song in my heart.

You are that beautiful flower and you are the sweetest song.
'To you as well' are words you whispered like sound of music
In my ears. And into the night I'll listen 'til love's magic,
Enchant my soul with flowers, with songs and bottled wine.
And here's to you and to all ethereal beauties of the sky.

I look at you again and I realize that it's been a long time,
Since I was drinking wine with you in a garden with friends...
And singing songs under your roof. You called me by my name,
You sheltered me from the rain; But now the time has changed,
I walk on soddy path that soils not my senses. It's the same!
