A piece by Srisaravana
Whispered Lights
Stay for as long as the words ask you to.

take a breath · read slowly
On a warm and clear summer night
Nothing hides me from your light
You are a full moon in a clear sky
Let me whisper like a little firefly
One could break a man’s heart
Into a thousand pieces apart, but
Moon’s light that could melt them one
I have seen both of them in your eyes
Like a wine-colored sky of an evening May
My heart may bleed and crumble and die, but
The moon may come in summer’s night sky
To fetch me to your realm of light
Let me sleep like a newborn baby
In the land of your light
While you whisper in my dreams
With a thousand delights
