Loving a Stranger
My dear faceless stranger
No reason to mean so much to me
My defenceless heart caught unawares
By your remorseless charm apart
Weaving beauty with your verses
Blazing my soul with indelible mark
Consumes me within and without
Makes me doubt all that is familiar
If only I can be all that you ever wanted
If only I can be all that is dear to you
If only you feel what I feel
If only it is only you and me
But there is no you and me
There is you in your own world
Far away from me in touch and sight
Me in my own word as it ought to be
Be happy my nameless feeling
Sure of your virgin glory
Pure as only truth can be
Cherished safe till my breath lasts
