Will You?


Will you?

Will you take with you the songs
And with you, will the singing birds fly?
Will you stop from rising – the sun,
And with it, keep the nights for long?

Will you erase the rainbow, as you go?
And on your way, tie to you the Spring?
Will you set afire the mowed bed of grass
And ablaze dreams of love built on you?

Will you, my love, erase the memories,
And as you move, wipe your footsteps?
Will you block the unheard voice of future,
And pull the floating hopes to fall on earth?

Will you close the windows of past?
And as you leave, hide the cracks of destiny?
Will you break the strings of violins
To never whisper an octave of love again?

Will you never sing on the branches,
As the chirping birds unveil days to the world?
Will you in time cease to twinkle above,
And eclipse the galaxy of dreams aglow?

Will you walk this lane of memories,
While lead through sullen streets of reality?
Will you in the lethargic hours of tiring life
Light a candle of thought in my shriveled name?

Will you, once, glance back to the doorstep,
as you move, absorbing this temple of love?
Will you, for years, keep this lantern glow
Through the seasons, to the fence of infinity

Will you, unfold the past and burn
shadows of the gifted memories
will you, from far, have it sail seven seas
and lead this soul to the seventh sky?

Will you in time, rewrite this poem of life
With your words of untold love?
Will you in solitude, facing the silent wall
Tell me, hands high, a lie of love?

Will you, nail planks on the doors
Of the cracked dreams of this temple?
Will you throw your arms of lightning
To bring the dome of hopes to rubbles?

Will you?
