Tonight I will hide from the world <br />And sleep with my sorrows <br /> <br />I will remember how in my delusion <br />You are real, like my flesh <br /> <br />Heavens say my lovers are angels <br />And so does unreal stories <br /> <br />Now I'm a frozen battlefield <br />Of thoughts which I couldn’t draw <br /> <br />My mortal body lay alive shielded, <br />And unharmed <br />It abhors those, unlike you <br /> <br />Would I ask GOD why He called me <br />To pen about your surrendering self to Him? <br /> <br />I just adore your lovely hands that raise up <br />Your fragrant mouth that tastes nothing but grapes <br />Your lucid eyes like stars and spring <br />I curl in humility where you love only GOD <br /> <br />When I see you with other women <br />Holding tight and even, if kissing only friends, <br />I feel furious <br />I can see your imperfections haunting me <br />Like a world of explosion on my being <br /> <br />I am your mother who weeps <br />Your daughter who seeks you <br />Your wife who gets your shoes <br />Your sister feeding your kitchen <br /> <br />I have no face <br /> <br />If you forget me, I have gone miles away <br />I have left with traces of my dreams <br />Burned under boiling sun rays <br /> <br />If only for tonight, <br />Find me <br />Let me hide from the world <br />So I can know myself. <br /> <br />vietnam rose 2009 <br />done 7: 05 philippines <br />march 28,2009<br /><br />rosalinda flores martinez<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/if-tonight-2/
