Come Close To Me Poem by Faeza gilani

Come close to me, oh my companion of full life

Speak to me of the glory of your heart,

For that is greater than the elements of life.

Speak to me not in broken words:

I can grasp the language of your spirit;

For it is more true than life itself.

Come close to me, oh Beloved of my soul:

Embrace me, for I feel loneliness;

Place your quivering lips upon mine

And let me press your honeyed lips in wild ecstasy.

Ah: why we tremble ….

Let us close our eyes and not look at each other …

It may stir our souls…….

Take me in your arms and embrace: our souls are one.

Kiss me, my beloved,

You are close by me, my forever sweetheart

You are close to me always.

Even when I am not close to myself:

I feel the immensity of your soul:

Though I myself hang in vacuum.

Ah-embrace me for I fear

loneliness ……loneliness ……loneliness…………..
