The love in your features fades when you look at me.
Disappointment takes its place instead
The sweet smile encased in your full pruce lips
Is stolen by a thin grim line

Your eyes luminesce with admiration as you face the dawn
The cold wind blows when our gazes meet
The effortless harmony of your voice
Diminishes into a sharp impersonal tone at the mention of my name

When will this change?

When will I see the smile lying within your lips again?
The love in your eyes
The gentle praise in your voice
The soft waves of your worship

I want to be loved by you
All over again
Like it was way before
When your velvet waters cradled me on to the shore

Oh Mother! Give me your embrace
That is all my soul’s desire
The warmth of your everlasting love
That will stain onto my skin

Give me your benign words
That will stay with me forever
The faint whispers that soak me with wisdom
And engulf me in an ocean that is all our own.

But such an ocean does not exist.
