There you are

You are not my sun-

That shines in my noon.

Neither are you –

That circlet,

That lights up my darkest nights-

You are not even my moon.

You are not my star-

That glitters on the dimmed blanket up above.

Neither are you-

That pretty little rainbow!

That comes after the heavy downpour,

Turns all my sad into glad.

Darling,

I won’t cage you.

I won’t cage you within, or would I?

Within these stupid metaphors-

Within hugs and kisses and the dates and the red flowers;

For nor the exact term,

Nor such wondrous or magnificent view,

Has ever really existed-

That could exemplify YOU.

But rather-

There you are.

Behind those of my-

Crazy singings in the showers!

Behind those of my smiles-

When you are not looking;

And when you are not listening;

Behind all those “I love you”!
