For a Moment

I   came   for   a   moment
to   find   the   hidden   treasure
in   rocks   of   your   heart.

I   am   not   a   dream   but   fact
which   can   redraw   boundaries
between   people   and   countries.

If   I   have   one   day   to   live
I   shall   spend   it   in   your   quest
to   find   my   spirit   in   your   flesh.

Blood   can’t   be   replaced   by   water
or   love   returned   with   enmity
or   sin   termed   as   sanctity.

Empty   stomach   accepts   charity
a  lover   loses   his  dignity
in   pursuit   of   his   fairy.

I   came   for    a    moment   but   spent
a   lifetime   worshipping   beauty
of   your   soul,  face   and   body.

My   fate   hangs   in   balance
but   mortals   can’t   wait   for   ever,
I   need   your   selfless   offer.

The   weak   don’t   have   much   time,
they   need   help   to   breathe   again
to   sustain   life   and   cure   pain.
