Deep down
Within some people
there is an empty space.
The bigger this space is
the more they wander
person to person
place to place
without knowing exactly
what are they looking for.
It is a space
that can't be filled
with material things
or with mundane relations.
So secret is this space
people are hardly aware of it,
let alone get near it.
So auspicious is this space
it opens only for God itself
or for a very special person
in your life.
When this happens
you will find
day and night,
a name on your lips.
Last winter
it was the bonfire night
you came with two sad eyes
and sang a song for us.
The moment you started to sing
your face was lit
with umber light,
whole atmosphere
was filled with your glow;
words of your became liquid
I felt something has touched me.
Now day and night
asleep and awake
I see that glow
in front of my eyes.
If I say I love you
it would turn
something heavenly
into a mundane affair.
