☆ Wish I could…  ☆

☆

You always kept floating

in my teary eyes only,

Wish you’d dived deep into

my fathomless heart, too..!

*

Eversince I set course, my eyes

kept counting the milestones

Wish I had my sights fixated

on the destination, too..!

*

Oh! I’ve got these fragrant

flowers from a benefactor

Wish you had seen my bed

full of deadly thorns, too..!

*

I welcomed the bouquets

offered by my friends

Wish I could see the dagger

Hidden in the flowers, too..!
