Lovers Journey

by Shoaib Kayani
(UK)

Days feel like years
Every passing second like a dagger to the heart

Time seems to stand still
Without you, of no use to anyone am I

I have dragged this lifeless body
Through the tormenting seas of separation

To emerge a successful pearl diver
I held my breath, the prize is mine

The seas of torment hold secret treasures
I know now what was hidden before

Every second is a new existence
Every moment I am born again

I am but an empty vessel

Fill me with the colour of your love
I shall become your love

Fill me with your beauty
So I may become beautiful
