Love Poem: Rendezvous

Rendezvous

There's an arch of music
Under the tranquil lighthouse
Glide towards me my beloved
We'll walk on the roads
Beyond that galactic sky
Wrapped under the cozy blanket 
Of shimmering little guiding stars

The moon doesn't make a sound 
We'll hide behind the cotton clouds
Each molecule will light up
Each one will dive deep
Into the enchanted midnight of our love
That would stay undeterred 
Embrace me like sleep does

You'll peep into my heart
With your half-opened eyes
Hiding behind your palms
Like lazy sun rays of a Winter morning
We'll talk of folk music and tales
Beside the warm fire of our love
Where the dawn wouldn't end
And the night would never arrive
The golden dusk would go on
And if dusk ever ends
Dawn would sleep on
That enchanting midnight would go on
Hold me close when I can't sleep
Sing to me the lullabies of our love

My heart seems to be lost
Somewhere in those terrains
And you are still unaware
This anxiety dissolves me
More into you than I am
I have been floating around
In the silent depths of your eyes
And you are still unaware
That newborn pearls spill out 
Of the lips of silver seashells tonight
And songs are getting drunk 
Over the melodies of the past
The ocean sleeps under the
Blanket of her own waves
Yet I am awake 
Drunk and drowsy with your love
But you are still unaware
I await your arrival
Under that arch of music tonight
