Arpan’a’

I drink You,
knowing this spring of Love
is for me, only for me
- You’ve brought it here
just to make me happy;
to make me feel loved…

Sing, little bird, sing endlessly
- through your voice I sing too.
Let us go to our Love together
- He is that moonlight
between me and you…

I don’t have to see You
- I feel Your arrival;
I know You’re near…

And each time I recognize Your coming
my heart trembles on my lips,
yearning to reach out
and melt at Your feet…

If I would come to the mirror
I would see You looking at me
through my own eyes
- the sparks of Your smile in them -
and I would know
You are with me,
You love me within me,
for we are inseparable;
One…

Snowflake carried by the wind
- I dance before You,
making all the pirouettes
as You want me to…

Heavenly shell opened
and the pearl Moon,
shiny like my Love,
pours its milky light.

- My Ba’ba’, could You come,
just like the Moon
in my room every night?

Oh, if just the full Moon
could be the promise of Your arrival;
that I’ll hold You tight…

Come, my dear Lord,
bless me with Your presence,
grace me with Your voice and touch.
- How can You resist
when I pray and cry for You so much?

I miss You, my Beloved,
like the desert misses the water,
like the lily misses the Moon.
Please, just keep me thinking about You
and come here soon!

Suddenly,
I become aware of Your presence
- of Your eyes,
Your smile,
Your palms -
and I wonder where have You been before,
where was this beauty hidden,
why this sweetness,
for so long,
remained away from me…

How can I live
without You;
spend any second
without remembering Your name?
- My love,
my soul,
my everything
- what am I without You?

And when You are finally here,
how can I resist You,
how can I resist You?

- All the Universe
collapses unto You
and my body,
my mind,
my life
tremble before Your face

wondering

how could I live,
how could I ever live
without You…

Although I know
You know each and every piece
of my body, mind and soul;
You know me better than I know…
still I’m shy before You:
I don’t know where to look,
what to do,
what to say,
how to love You…
