120. MEMORIES



The flowers are in full bloom...
colouring the meadows into a carpet....
The birds dance in mid-flight 
and the butterflies fleet in and out of their flowers 
and at night the fireflies light up their neons......
but that was YESTERDAY'S, 
when we were youths and now we have grown.....
So dies the youth in each and everyone of us....
and in its place is what we call 
MEMORIES....

119. KYOTO LOVE


Kyoto......
my heart was there for a time...
for it never really left....
and now when I close my eyes, 
my soul and my spirit fly 
upon the silent winds just to be there again...
to walk beneath Kyoto skies...
and listen to the birds in the bamboo groves...
Oh how I long to return to the love of my heart...
and there he still awaits me....

118. BOUNDLESS LOVE



Together forever
 through thick and thin
Love like no other
No beginning no end
That dwells in each
And every breath
That goes beyond
The bounds of death

- M@t@Maya (© 31-07-2012)

117. ALWAYS IN MY HEART


Encased in a silver box
encrusted with love crystal,
securely tucked in the secret corner
of the fourth chamber
within the stronghold
of my beating heart....
There you stay forever and ever
Until the oceans run dry
Until the birds cease to fly
Until the stars burn away
Until the night no longer change to day....
There you shall stay for eternity.
For you are mine and mine alone
For you were, you are
and you shall
ALWAYS IN MY HEART!

116. OHRID - THY LAKE BECKONS


Lay thee in peace as I leave thee 
For I shall remember thy great beauty 
Wait thee for me for I’ll return 
To be near thee, please wait for me 

So deep thy waters, mysterious yet calm 
Untouched by wastes, unscathed by industries 
I’d wish for thee to remain pure and chaste 
For in thee I found my God and inner peace 

Ohrid, thy lake beckons to me 
I shall return with greetings and love 
To breathe thy air and be carefree 
And thank The Almighty God above

115. LAKE OHRID



In one brief moment
your smile won me over
your touch re-assured me
that I'm still capable
of reciprocating
a man's love

Your eyes are reflection
of the blue waters
of Lake Ohrid
which bore witness
to the brief time
our hearts met

Your calm and humble being
brought me to my knees
in a land I once dreamed of
And I thank you 
for being there
for caring

I came, I saw but I did not
conquer you, Macedonia!
Instead I left behind
my heart somewhere
over there by the
Lake Ohrid

114. BORROWED TIME, BORROWED WORLD



Not by chance nor by coincidence 
From the spark of His fire has she come 
Born to her mum and to her dad 
To leave a mark on the pages of life 
To bring joy to the hearts of those who know her 
To be a lover, a companion, a friend, a wife
To the man who has chosen her
To be the mother to his children. 

Life in this world is a privilege 
A nursery, a school, a work place 
A test of strength, wit and will 
All on borrowed time 
And she thanks Him, The Almighty Heavenly Father 
For the chance to make a difference 
No matter how trivial or small 
In this borrowed world.

113. THE TEARS ON THE ROSE



As he sat opposite her 
At the dining table 
He handed her a single rose
Red as the ruby gemstone 
Bound by yellow gold 
That fit snugly around 
Her slender ring finger 
She accepted the rose 
With a smile and both hands 
Her heart beating wildly 
As she waited for his words 
Then in the midst of her ecstasy 
He dropped a single word 
‘Goodbye’ and three large
Tears rolled down her cheeks 
Dripped silently upon 
The blushing red petals 
Of the single rose

And

He was gone

112. REMEMBERING 'HABIBI'



Sitting at Starbucks sipping coffee 
Or walking along Oxford Street 
Never fails to evoke sweet memory 
Of my dearest friend, ForeVer Habibi
Driving along Doha's Corniche 
Watching the sea so calm and still 
Remembering someone special in my heart
Longing to hear his voice so thrill 
Recalling a funny incident 
When 'Habibi' tried to jump onto his bed 
And fell down groping in the dark 
Cutting his chin, luckily not his head 
I often smile as I remember 
The stories we shared that bygone day 
I miss 'Habibi' telling me stuff 
In his excited, funny and honest way 

You know, I never fail to say 
A prayer to petition to Him 
To keep 'Habibi' well everyday 
To fulfil each and all his dreams 
'Habibi', I feel empty and lost 
When you decided to stay away 
But I'll keep your memory uppermost 
In my mind till my dying day 
Thank you, 'Habibi' for being YOU 
For crossing the path of my destiny 
For teaching me the meaning of LIFE 
For ever sharing your LOVE with me 
Someone remembers, someone cares 
Someone dreams about you, someone smiles 
Because you have left your footprints there 
Deeply imprinted in my heart for miles 

Take care, 'Habibi', be safe be well 
For I'll be worried if you're in pain 
Keep cool, be kind to your body and mind 
And if God wills it, you'll hear from me again 


- M@t@Maya ( © 22-05-2009)

111. TAKE MY HAND



Take my hand and let me bring you into my life 
Let me love you with all my heart 
And cherish you with all my care 
Take my hand and let me show you my world 
Let me bring you all the joy 
And treat you nice with all I have there 
Take my hand and let me share my happiness 
Let me adore you day and night 
And let you feel my closeness to you 
Only then you will know how much 
I Love you……….. 


- M@t@Maya ( © 06052010)

110. LONGING



I long to feel your touch 
Your fingers running through my hair 
I long to hear you voice 
Whispering ‘I love you’ each night 
I long to smell your hair 
And the aftershave you used each day 
I long to feel your hug 
That wrapped around me so tight 
I long to watch the sunset 
And our walk by the corniche 
I long for you my dearest one 
I am missing you so much 
Yes!...................

109. WHAT I WOULD LIKE


I would like to sit under the night skies 
And watch the stars’ flickering lights 
Sitting close to you Oh so nice! 
Feeling your arms holding me tight 

I would like to sit and feel the night breeze 
With smell of the sea and fresh jasmine 
Savouring your caress and lingering kiss 
Weakening my bones and teasing my skin 

The stars they shine just like your eyes 
You brought me joy you brought me love 
You opened my heart and made me wise 
You are a gift from God above 

- M@t@Maya (© 01062010)

108. WALKING AWAY


I am walking away 
I am leaving you behind 
I shall not look back 
Nor shall I pass this way again 
You will become my yesterday 
And you won’t share my tomorrow 
Our lives are too different 
We’ve nothing in common 
My world is wide and well travelled 
Yours is small and closer to home 
My life is riddled with pain and pleasure 
Yours is enclosed under a nut shell 
My heart has been overjoyed 
As many times as it has been broken 
And I do not want any more hurt 
So stay away from me and let me be 
For I am content to be on my own 
You belong with your family 
Don’t forsake them for your own 
Over indulgence and mortal pleasure 


- M@t@Maya (© 25052010)

107. REPENTANCE


Here I am, standing at the edge of time
Counting hours till the awaited moment
When my life shall be reviewed for crime
Of mortal weakness and eternal torment

Is it now too late to redeem my soul
To cleanse my body of mortal sins
To get back my life and a heart of gold
And be the Temple of God within?

Here I am , out in the cold wintery night
Wondering if there’s reason to go on
If there’s a way to make things all right
And live a new life, the past be bygone

Would He be willing to forgive my wrong
To forget my arrogance and materialistic ways
Would He help me get up and let me be strong
To charter another journey till the end of my days

Here I am, a mortal wreck trying to rebuild
A better life anew
An ordinary being, trying to mend my ways
And what about you?

106. GOOD BYE VENICE

(Courtesy and appreciation to Xiamen YD Oil Painting art Co., Ltd)
Good bye Venice, gone are the days I grieve for you 
For I have found a love anew where I'll place my heart 
And leave it to feel the shower of a love anew 
Conte partiro, though I love you, now it's time to part 

Good bye Venice, I have loved you with all of me 
Till there is none for me to carry on my life 
Though you had always been my secret dream and fantasy 
I am leaving you for better place and better strife 

Good bye Venice, thank you for all the sweet romance 
But I cannot live on romance alone for I need more to go on 
Soon my heart will be strong again to explore new land 
And it is time for you to forget me and soon I'll be gone 

Good bye Venice, thank you for receiving me with all your heart 
Now I have nothing else to say except to leave you.....and depart

105. SANDS OF TIME


Today I come to a realization 
that no matter what I do,
it will not change the circumstances 
concerning our relationship.
You keep asking for more, 
not thinking once how I feel.
You tell me that you love me, 
that you need me.
But you only remember me 
and come to me 
only when you need me.
I keep yielding to your whims and fancies, 
and in the process 
I keep hurting myself, 
burdening myself with anger, 
pain and sorrow.

I can no longer allow myself to be used by anyone,
not even by you, whom I have chosen to love.
So, starting today 
I am picking up the pieces of what
will become tomorrow's memories, 
and although they have been
carved, etched, ingrained, imprinted 
on to the 
Epitaph Of My Love
I will bury this stone epitaph deep in my heart,
where no one can touch it, 
and time will help me to forget it's existence.
So, even though I have chosen to love you forever, 
I will forget you when the 
Sands Of Time 
have covered the memories of you,
and buried them forever 
in my past.........

- M@t@Maya (©17-03-2009)

104. ETERNITY


They say that ETERNITY is a long long time 
But ETERNITY does not belong to TIME 
And TIME cannot match ETERNITY 
ETERNITY is forever 

To me, ETERNITY is that moment you touched my heart 
With such sweet sorrow and tender feelings 
That which I called a moment seemed to last a hundred if not thousand years 
Yet, how can it be an ETERNITY when all it took was a blink of an eye…….. 

I wish that being with you lasted an ETERNITY 
So that I know not the feeling and the pain of a heartbreak 
But when I had to let you go, the pain of separation last forever 
For an entire lifetime 

For ETERNITY……

103. GREY.....



Grey…everything that I see 
With tearful and swollen eyes
Bleak…as if there’s no tomorrow 
When all the love dies 

Empty…that familiar old feeling 
As it is when void has taken over 
Weak…is the beating of this old heart 
Tired from the hurt that never gets better 

Thick…is the air that I breathe 
Filled with the anger that seethes 
Inside me waiting to be freed at the 
Slightest provocation, as light as the breeze 

Hot…is the raging fire that burns so deep 
Within my heart eager to settle this overdue 
Dispute and betrayal that eats into my soul 
And turns me into this monster out to get YOU 

For you had dared to break my heart 
Drown my hope, crush my dreams and take 
Away the only thing that matters to me...
My dignity

 - M@t@Maya (© 17-05-2011)

102. THE FACE IN THE DREAM


A shade of grey fleeting by my sleepy eyes
A whiff of an after-shave borne by the breeze
A soft caress on my cheek was indeed a surprise
A whisper of a word in my ear brought me peace

A face appeared in the dark recess of my mind
Somewhat familiar yet not recognized
A face that I've seen some where some time
Some how and some day I'll see in my life

An image that invoke warm tender feelings
A picture that tugged the line to my heart
A memory of the past that didn't want to be forgotten
A dream that reminded of a love torn apart

That was the FACE that keeps appearing
In a dream that keeps on occurring


- M@t@Maya (© 06-04-2010)

101. HEARTS ON FIRE


Ours are two hearts on fire
Burning bright like distant stars
Two bodies savoured by common desire
I am your Venus and you are my Mars
xxx
Ours are two souls of burning amber
burning deep in the cold windy night
consuming all our passion forever
lighting the skies in starlight bright
xxx
Ours are two minds working in tandem
brilliant sparks of colliding stars
A perfect match made in the heavens
Separable by no one, nothing, not even wars
xxx
Ours are two bodies - the Yin and Yang
Moulded out of finest treasures on Earth
Fitted to be together like a jigsaw puzzle
Separated by gender, by time and birth
xxx
Two hearts on fire burning with desire
Two minds collided to fuse into one
Two souls reunited like burning amber
Two bodies so passionate with love undone

- M@t@Maya (© 31-03-2009)

100. THIRST



Take away this thirst I have 
Bring me the wine I'm craving for 
The only drink that would pacify me 
My thirst has been for thousand years 
Like a desert land I am parched and dry 
Pour on me your sweetest wine - fill me up 
Till I am spent and all the troubles 
Of this world are gone..... 
For you are a fine wine to me 
And I thirst so much for you 

- M@t@Maya (© 30-03-2009)

99. MISSING YOU


I miss you
I miss your closeness
I miss your hand holding mine 
I miss your arms holding me tight 
I miss your fingers touching my face 
I miss you inhaling the fragrance of my hair 
I miss you telling me how much you loved me 
I miss you whispering my name over and over 
I miss your laughter each time I cracked a joke 
I miss your voice that keeps echoing in my mind 
I miss your chest where I hid my face from the sun 
I miss your eyes that seemed never tired of adoring me 
I miss your hugs that gave me such comfort and assurance 
I miss your shoulder where I rested my head tired from driving 
And most of all, I miss your kisses, for they were like none before 
And I just want to tell you that I am so sorry to have kept you away 
Because, the simple truth is, no matter how hard I tried, I cannot bear 
The separation any more, and I need you, want you, beg you to come 
And take me away with you
With you

- M@t@Maya (© 31-10-2010)

98. BURNING WRATH



How could I have loved him so much, now that I hate him to the point 
that I wish that he rot and burn in the bottomless pit for eternity?
How is it possible that I am so angry with him for betraying my love 
and now wish that he could feel what I had felt when he broke my being 
when, at one time, he was enthroned in my heart and had his name 
laced upon my lips so that each time I licked them I would swallow 
his soul bit by bit to become one with me? 

How could I be hating him so much now that I keep wishing that the sun 
never rise for him so that he gropes in total darkness for the remainder 
of his days as punishment for him for forsaking me and my purest love? 
How could it had been him that my heart chose to beat for, for which my eyes 
chose to pour out futile tears, upon which my lips chose to lay kisses 
now that I think of him as the most vile and filthy thing
that I have come across my entire life? 

But for as long as my heart still beats, as long as my eyes still cry tears, 
as long as my mind still plays the memory of those days I had with him, 
as long as he still walks on this earth, I will wish him joy, 
then wish him pain, praise him then despise him, pray for him, then condemn him.
I am still so mad with him for loving me the way he did, 
then forcing me to leave him, because I had no other choice, 
because I hate him for taking away the only love I ever had in my heart.

97. MY YESTERDAY

Now I could only look back 
To yesterday 
Unable to touch it 
Unable to change it 
Either grateful 
Or regretting it 
For that is all 
Yesterday is about 
It is the past 
And it shall not return 
Such is my love for you 
Only a distant memory 
Which I now see 
As a tiny flicker of light 
Like a dying star 
For you now belong 
To my YESTERDAY 
To my PAST 

- M@t@Maya (© 17-01-2011)

96. MOTHER EARTH


Sitting here alone in the middle of no where 
I’m tired of this charade and lots of "I couldn’t care" 
What has happened to this weary world of ours 
There’s war, hunger, untimely death at all hours 

The world is now at a cross road 
To live on or die at humans’ careless hands 
What have we done to make things right 
To cure this sickly and much polluted lands 

Sitting here alone at no man’s island 
I have a million things frolicking in my mind 
Things I can barely contain in my hands 
And should have done instead of being ‘blind’ 

Time to wake up and do our part 
Give Mother Earth a break and let’s be smart 
Time to give back what we’ve taken apart 
Let Mother Earth feel the love from our hearts 

- M@t@Maya (© 04-05-2011)

95. FORGIVE ME


Forgive me for running away from you 
It’s not because I stop loving you 
But it’s because I cannot have you 
Forgive me my dearest love, for forsaking you 

Forgive me for refusing to meet you 
It’s not because I loathe you 
Neither is it because I hate you 
Forgive me my one and only for loving you 

Forgive me for turning my back on you 
It’s not because I refuse to hear you 
In fact I fully understand you 
But there’s just no way for me and for you


- M@t@Maya  (© 04-05-2011)

94. LOVE AND IT'S MANY FACETS


Love abused is like a velvet glove fitted on a dirty shoe 

Love unspoken is like an antique treasure box left unopened 

Love unrequited is like rose petals falling upon the white snow 

Love given up is like a favourite rocking chair left to rot in the attic 

Love wasted is like the morning dew soaked up by the desert sands 

Love accepted & appreciated is like a warm blanket in a cold winter night 

Love shared between two loving hearts is like a secret waiting to be unfolded 


- M@t@Maya (© 27-01-2009)

93. MY CHRISTMAS GIFT TO YOU


This Christmas I will send you a gift 
of black and velvety night skies 
with myriads of tiny diamond stars 
to light up your sad and longing eyes. 

Wrapped up in a box of red and gold 
with gossamer ribbons soft and silky 
with colours of the rainbow bold 
tied in a bow knotted with love & kisses from me. 

This Christmas I wish to send you gift 
a five-foot-two porcelain white 
living doll with honey lips 
to love you morning, afternoon and night. 

This Christmas just close your eyes 
Santa will come and bring you 'Me' 
to keep you warm and kindle your fires 
and give you wings and set you free. 

This Christmas I promise you this: 
I will be good, I will be nice 
For this gift, just this once, I will give 
So you be kind, be loving, be wise.

92. THE EPITAPH OF MY LOVE


His name is carved in my memory forever 
His face is etched permanently in my mind 
His eyes seek deep into my soul 
His voice forever rings in my ears 
His smiles melt my entire being 
His kisses make my heart skip its beat 
His touch sends my mind reeling 
His promises could wrap the Earth tenths of times over 
These are the very things that made me love him. 
BUT, at times................... 
His actions prompted me to ask, why him? 
His yearnings peek the heavens 
His possessiveness is on the brink of jealousy 
His desires overwhelm and could drown me 
His requests from me would strip me of all my principles 
His words cut like a knife, deep into my very soul 
What he said made me cry a million tear drops 
He said I always receive and never give, but I know its otherwise 
And all I ask of him is to bask in the sunshine of my love 
But this isn't enough for him; so now...what am I supposed to do? 
To forget him or to leave him, I can never do, 'cos everything about him 
Is carved, etched, ingrained, imprinted into THE EPITAPH OF MY LOVE 
But this love I have for him is burning and consuming me day by day 
And I am afraid that one day I'll be reduced to nothingness............... 

 - M@t@Maya (© 29-07-2008)

91. THE SUN ROSE IN HIS EYES


This morning I saw the sun rose in his eyes
He was so happy, so pleased that we are one
I know I'm gonna love him for a long time
Till we're both old and our lives are done

I love the way he held me and my hands
Each time we sat to watch the sun set
The way he ran his fingers through my hair
And how he caressed my face, I won't forget

I love the moments we had while we ate
How we savoured the food we loved
How he dealt with our lovers' spats
How he gazed at the moon above

It is the little things that we do
For each other that means the world
How he says to me "Oh,how I love you"
How he treats me like I'm a little girl

Spending the nights in his arms
Gazing at the stars, lying beneath the skies
Him, keeping me safe from all harms
Laying me to sleep, by kissing my eyes

I love him deeply with all my heart
Will cherish him with all my soul
I can't think of us being far apart
He is my breath, my life, my all

I'll love him till the sun sets in his eyes
Till the moon stops revolving round the Earth
Till the water in the oceans and seas runs dry
I'll love him and prove to him his true worth

- M@t@Maya (© 13-05-2009)

90. THE TEAR


When you came into my life 
With your smile and laughter 
I thought I was the luckiest man alive 
When you lay your head 
On my chest 
I smelled your hair 
When you put your arms around my neck 
I kissed you 
When you whispered my name softly 
I buckled at my knees 
When you slept in my arms while watching TV 
I watched your eyes fluttered 
When you declared your eternal love 
I thought I’d die 
I have given you my heart and my body 
My life, my soul, my time and my money 
Because I love you, and ONLY you 
Then you left me and now all that’s left 
Of me is 
A SINGLE TEAR 
rolling down my cheek…. 

- M@t@Maya (© 28-03-2010)

89. TILL


I will not stop searching TILL I find you 
And hold you close to my chest so 
That you can hear my heart beating 
I will not sleep soundly TILL I see you 
With my very eyes and know for sure 
That you are in front of me at last 
I will not watch the sunset TILL you 
Come and hold my head to your bosom 
To let me hear the sound of your breath 
I will not dry these tears I cry for you 
TILL you come and sit upon my lap 
And tell me that I’m your only love 
I will not rid myself of your memories 
TILL you appear by my side and give me 
The kiss that is meant for me only 
I will not rest my weary bones TILL you 
Surrender yourself to me so that I can 
Pour all my love upon you completely 
So, TILL I can have you all to myself 
I will keep waiting, searching, wanting 
Wishing, praying, thinking and I may 
Even just die momentarily for YOU 

- M@t@Maya (© 26-03-2010)

88. WHAT DO I DO......


What do I do with all the memories of us 
that keep haunting my weary mind 
and that just refuse to go away? 
What do I do with all the traces you left 
on shores of my tired heart 
that become embedded so deep? 
What do I do with the stark reminders 
that you've been here in my life 
that keep popping up everywhere I go? 
What do I do with my long nights 
when your face keep appearing in my dreams 
and reminding me of those times we had? 
What do I do with all your pictures 
that have graced the pages of my life 
that have now been imprinted there? 
What do I do with your gifts of words 
that I have cherished since time exists 
and had become my daily creed? 
What do I do to forget you forever?

87. IF I CAN



If I can have the magic wand
I would wave it three times
And make you a pair of wings
So you can fly to me tonight





If I can call out to the Unicorn
I would send him to you
And let you ride upon him
So he can carry you to me

If I can call upon the Wizard
from his lofty kingdom of OZ
I would beg him to chant his magic
And let it lure you to me

If I can convince the Mermaid
Witch under the deep ocean
To use her magic spell and then
Blow unto you her magic potion

But I am a mere human
A mortal with countless flaw
Possessing nothing worthy of pride
Only my boundless love I have for you

So I will never have you for me
Never will I caress your handsome face
It will only be in my dreams that I will see
Where you'll be mine with God's holy grace

- M@t@Maya (© 27-07-2009)

86. WHY???


Who could have guessed that
beneath that black executive suits
behind the Christian Dior shades
sitting quietly at the back seat
of a chauffeur driven black Mercedes
cruising along the beautiful corniche is
a body so weak, a heart barely beating
a mind so lost, a soul so distraught

Who would have thought that
within that porcelain white silky skin
underneath the auburn coloured hair
looking out over the high balcony
far out beyond the emerald coloured sea
is another grieving soul with
eyes all swollen from endless tears
dark circles a sign of sleepless nights

Why is this world so full of injustice?
Those that lied, cheated and stole
could walk so free to hurt more souls
While those that gave, trusted and loved
had to endure the pain of living
If indeed this life is predestined
Then I have lost all hope of loving
Because loving isn't worth it at all......

- M@t@Maya ( © 21-02-2010)

85. THE ROSE



"Je t'aime", I said to you with a single stalk of red rose
With that I sealed my promise to you
And you cared for my red rose like it was your beating heart
but I did you wrong
I kept you out of my life.....I pushed you away
And little did I realized that when I shut you out of my life 
I was cutting away a part of me too
And so died a red red rose
With a single whisper of 
"I Love You..."

84. I WISH YOU KNOW



I wish you know how much I want to hold you
And lay my head upon your chest to listen to your heart
But I won't, for fear of not able to let you go
And instead become a burden to you.

I wish you know how much I want to touch you
And feel your skin next to mine and let it be
But I can't allow myself to do that for fear
That I would lose my mind over you, so I won't.

I wish you know how much I want to stay by you
And be a loving mate and wife to you
But I haven't got courage and faith in myself
And I will never ever break your heart and hurt you.

I wish you know that I have loved you from the moment
I lay my eyes upon you and felt my heart beating for you
But I can't let you know for fear that you'd turn me away
And that will hurt me for the rest of my days.

83. I AM....



I am in your first view of the morning's sun
I am in your tea cup as you sip it in your breakfast
I am in each face you meet on the way to work
I am in your PC's screen as you start off the day
I am in your wallet when you take out a note or two
I am in your favourite midday lunch break
I am in your shadow that follows you every where you go
I am in your nightly dreams and fantasies
Why am I always with you?
Because YOU put me there beside you, inside you, around you.....
Because I AM the ONE you choose to love............

82. I STAND HERE WAITING



I stand beneath the azure sky
Wishing her well, healthy and strong
To face each and every new day
For my heart with her now belongs

I stand before the emerald sea
wondering if she's thinking of me
Can she feel deep in her heart
Though we're so far apart?

Could the wind carry my words
And tell her that I am so lonely
That she is always in my prayers
Every moment every hour she's with me

I pray to God for her safety
With each and everything she makes
May God guide her, lead her to me
With each and every step she takes

I stand looking up at the silver moon
As night comes quietly by
And wish for her to come back soon
Stay by me till the oceans run dry

I promise her love everlasting
A love like no other that'll ever be
I'll give her my all, my everything
My heart, my soul, my mind, my psyche

I stand here waiting.........

81. WHAT IS THAT I WON'T DO FOR YOU



I would walk upon a rainbow
and bring to you a pot of gold
To spread beneath your feet
For your heart, body and soul

I would spread the rainbow yarn
as a carpet where you would walk
As long as I can have your smile
of sweet jasmine as you talk




Then I'll paint the horizon
all the way to the zenith
Rainbow colors for sunset or dawn
Sparkling waters that lie beneath

That's how deep my love is for you
Wider than the whole universe
Higher than the Everest or Kathmandu
More meaningful than all promises

I'd bring to you all the silk
Enough to wrap the Earth ten times over
Bath your body with fragrant milk
Over your body I spread my hair as cover

For you are the Prince of my heart
You are my knight in shining armour
And only you can keep me from apart
My dream lover my sweet paramour

I shall wrap you with my rainbow shawl
Together we'll sail across the heaven
Spinning dreams, colorful fantasies
Making love morning, night, twenty four seven
