My Companion

When you weren’t there

My world was arid

The rains and the clouds

Were buried under the sky

But now, when you are here

With me, I see kindness

Take away the droughts

With it, all my doubts

You brought a garden with you

For me, full of fruits, flowers

Brooks and singing birds.

The sky smiles, the earth chirps.

O dear lover, all I want to say

Is that I love you, don’t leave me

Ever again;

Without you, my organs don’t mellow

They don’t function I cannot follow

My instinct, my ears and eyes

Become a pack of lies

I realize I cannot be

Without you beside me

You are my inner power,

A stream of ceaseless light

My companion,

My world, my only delight.
