Gorgeous Wind,
How many faces have you kissed?
How many little necks have you tickled?
And how many tears have you dried
before you came to whisper in my ears?
Tell me about the trees you laid bare
as you danced with their leaves.
About the dunes you have rearranged,
and the birds you have carried to warm home.
About the excited kites challenging you to a duel,
and the lonely balloons traveling to loved ones.
Tell me, sweet wind, does my love miss me?
In the moments between inhales and exhales
when you are inside him,
do you see my name etched across his heart?
Does he sigh memories of me
when you plant my kiss on his cheek?
Does he recognize me
in your warm caress of a breeze
that carries the scent of my embrace?
Or
Does he recognize me in your howl
as I rage in despair from missing his touch?
Tell me sweet breeze,
despite fate keeping my love away from me,
does his heart beat in tune with mine?
or will it just be you lulling me to sleep
as i whisper the same old lines?
