I think of you when divine dawn filters in through my curtain
When the vulnerable smell of morning dew wafts in uncertain
When the guileless grasshopper wakes from his strident slumber
When the time on my clock is still just a nebulous number
I miss you when the glorious afternoon sun beats down on me
When in between hectic chapters everything but you ceases to be
When the riotous flowers soak up the sun in summer embrace
When the lazy grains of pollen float away into silent space
I long for you when dusk turns the sky a star-studded black
When the owl takes his first flight with ocular knack
When the brusque nip in the air makes my nose grow pink
When the unkind quandaries of the day finally sink
I love you between every comatose second that passes by
Between every listless blink of my doleful eye
Between every torturous tang that settles on my tongue’s bed
Between every langourous note that my ears are forcefed
I live for you because every snow flake reminds me of your free-falling fervour
Because every whiff of wind abounds with your familiar flavour
Because no fire warms my heart the way your crinkly eyes do
Because every grain of sand falls to the earth much like my soul reaches for you
