A moment (Rubliw)

You look
in the mirror,
do wipe some stray hair right
and something is caught in the glance
as if the day depends on your own looks
and your glance moves away to me
in a short small moment
that lingers on
and on.

When I admire you (Rubliw)

Without
comprehension
you are when I admire
your beauty when you do makeup
but a small bit of a smile do linger
that does reflect your deep feelings
and the sun is setting
and the moment
is past.

If I cannot find you

If I cannot find you
as the ray of sun
among the splendours
that this world holds
then they are nothing more
than just empty colour and form.

If you are not there to love
then life has lost its meaning
and the world has just become
an empty place
and everything in it
has lost the essence
that it truly holds

If your love does not exist
then living is in vain
and the world
just a place full of pain
without any consideration
belonging or care.

I had dreamt of you

I had dreamt of you
living in a world
where skies are always blue
and you loved me
with a kind of sincerity

and we had much joy
as just a girl and a boy,
had a kind of innocence
while our thoughts
whirled up like incense.

Your smile radiated like the sun
while you loved my like your only one
and our companionship was sweet
while butterflies fluttered at our feet.

You kissed me with sheer bliss
and there was magic in this

but I had to go then
back to the world of men
as promises I had to keep
and I was devoid of further sleep.

With you (Rubliw)

With you
forever seems
a very short distance
and long gone are the lonely days
while some enchanting moments do abound
and you do spin my life around
changing it in some ways,
even my dreams
to you.

We are like two flowers (Rubliw)

We are
like two flowers
growing wild among rocks
and the wind and sun come and go,
the wet rain falls and lightning does flash down,
all the seasons of life does pass
and although I do care
days do run on
and on

How sadly I have been absent in this spring (Rubiyat sonnet)

How sadly I have been absent in this spring
while new sprouts and flowers were rising
when the loveliest hot days you have seen
and our love had been a struggling withering thing

and how stripped like winter have our lives been
without a hot summer day between
while our love should have been at its prime
as a plant that is with new growth green

and yet it was if there was in destiny no time
and to everything just the coldest deadliest clime
but in hope I am still waiting on you
to forgive every word and every kind of crime

that you do hold true to me
but does actually lie in your own insecurity.

I miss you very much (Rubliw)

I miss
you very much
in the early morning
and in the afternoon still more
and in the evening heartache does sting
more than anything that I know
but still our love remains
wherever life
does go.

I do love you each day (Rubliw)

I do
love you each day
but the great loneliness
does possess a kind of deep ache
and when we are apart my life does halt
as if nothing good does remain
and emptiness is left
until you are
right here.

How strong do I love thee? (Rubliw)

How strong
do I love thee?
Together we belong,
much more than mere feelings could be
is each word and deed in the daily throng
and far beyond eternity
our feelings go along
being gently
and free.
