Unseen faces

from an unseen face the whispering night revealed the secrets
that you have drunk your dreams to the last drag
still the share of your sweet wine remain in my blood stream
the desirous byways of unexplored fidelity
lies forth as they welcome a weary traveler
whose unrested nights have worn him to a shadow
here a path to a luminous destiny you have pointed
touches my inner core unclothing hidden sore
my eyes tore from the unseen wishfulness
yet the images linger in the stagnant water
with one half I capture the temptations
the other half betrays the glamorous dream
trouble my eyes to see the falling lotuses
from the eyes of stars into the spacious barren land
don't let them sink into a sorrowful mortality
let them surface and float in your tranquil eyes
the journey of life nothing but a backdrop of gloom
and the invisible lines we cross innocently
once again all the madness of loving you
willingly clasp me in a sentimental rope
reaching the extreme end a vivid imagination
yet comforting the aloneness, Ah I feel the sensation...
