Stay with me
Stay with me as flushes of pink
Stain the petals of the rose
Stay with me as the light
Hovers over the burning wick
Stay with me as the wine
Imbues my breath and thine
Stay with me as the moon
Smiles in the dark night
– Anita Bacha –
Thank you for your visit, my dear friends.
Take me with you,
To a land where white flowers,
Bloom in the night,
Where moths freely die in the light,
As I bloom and I die in your favors,
Take me with you,
Keep me close to you,
As the scent of white flowers,
Invigorates the breath of lovers,
And I write with the ink of your eyes,
These petals of poetry,
Chaste as white flowers in the night.
Anita Bacha
