Petrichor
A poet
Am I?
Or a moment?
A word today
A sound tomorrow
A breeze the day after
Will you then have the time
To spare me a thought?
Lend me an ear?
Give me the time?
Tomorrow
There will be others
Speaking better
Touching souls
Reaching depths
Of emotion
Scaling heights
Of passion
Creating the world
Of that moment
Before
They too become
A sound
And then
A breeze
Let me bare myself to you
Let me make myself vulnerable
Let me shed all my hang-ups
Let me be free of all expectations
Love me to make me fearless
Love me to make me myself
Love me to make me strong for you
Love me to make me invincible with you
Let my arms be your stronghold of safety
Let my love offer you reverence
Let my strength be your haven
Let my passion be your shield
Let my love be your guard
There is no destination for me but you
There is no place for me but by you
Since I came into this world
I have done nothing but love you
Since I have loved you
There is nothing else I can do
Look at me from top to toe
I am just a feeling of love
Take me in your arms but once
That I may find some peace
I have wandered in wilderness
Searching for you
This world which is filled with colours now
Was a conspiracy of isolation
Before I loved you
Your presence in this world
Has anchored me
Has settled it down
There is no destination for me but you
There is no place for me but by you
