I love you - Poem

in the darkness of broad daylight

I have seen some shadows familiar

I have seen you in their faces

In their smiles I have seen you…

In the echoes of cooing cuckoos

In the whispers of a starry night

I have heard you in the sound of a flowing river

In the rustling clouds I have heard you

In the softness of rose petals of the morning

In the warm drop of blood out of pricked thorns

I have felt you hug me when I trembled with fear

Dancing with me in my success, I have felt you…

I have danced with you, I have walked with you..

I have smiled with you, I have lived with you …

I have felt you, I have breathed you…

In every passing moment that I passed with you.

In my heart I have worshipped you…

I have glowed in your light and your energy…

When you brought light to my life, why were the shadows so dark?

When the shadows were so dark, why could I see you in them?

When you smiled at me, who says I didn’t feel like hugging you?

When you hugged me, who says I didn’t hug you back?

Who says I am unlucky...

Who says I didn’t get you…

You’ve lived with me all through the years

And forever you will stay…
