Lover Poem by Rehan Hyder

I wait for death
like one hungers for a lover
and knows deep inside
he shall come*
to take me in his arms
and this time making
all whispered promises;
come true

Lead now to that warm heart
so I can feel your heart
inside mine

touch my heart and feel
how it yearns for a burning passion
only you can yield

kiss my lips so
I shall taste the manna dew
touch me where it hurts
and ease away the pain

Honeysuckle and roses white
I shall know never untill
you close my eyes
with breath light
and I shall know
eternity awaits my sleep

[*emotion this strong can only be articulated through a mind of a woman; I’m not what you think I am ]]
