I Said Loving You is Like Gazing the Ocean at the End of Sahara – – To C.

Leap. When I think of you,

I still think of Sea.

Till now I’ve finally learned: footprints washed away

Are also fingerprints engraved. You don’t see me, me

Who wanders, me whose Eastern blood

As crimson as the Lantern – Shining over your window

At the Northern Hemisphere for one night,

And becomes an orphan too. Waves don’t belong to

The homelands of any of us. Another realm

 – – In my water-based life, you exist in the form of Salt,

In the letter with the texture of Shell:

In the Spelling errors, you learn me

Unbiasedly. You’d learned me.

Girl with vessels made of rivers clinging to her heart.

Occasionally you ask about dwellings I’ve rented.

I say, the plain – how vast it is,

I keep on walking, keep on walking,

Till the Sand

Shades into the Sea.
