i would like by Mai Phung

building

i would like

by Mai Phung

i would like
you
to see through the mist
on a rainy evening
the mountain far away
i would like
you
to hear in the storm
through the darkness of the city
the enchanting flute
i would like
you
to feel my dream
and shadows of the past
haunting my elusive days
i would like
you to wake up
in the smell of roses
by your side
and as the world turns
day and night mingle
to fuse my heart
into a single spot
point where we meet, subtly
in undertones, a miracle i long for
time after time
