I’ve been planted into your cells
From the very first recognition of separation
The moment I taught you my name
Said your name
When we turned into you and me
Divided by an invisible border
The paradise located somewhere beyond
Vague memory, diffuse vision
Left alone
Lost alone
In time and space
This world is your creation
But all empty
You seek abundance in the void
Completion
And your mind is painting the most tantalizing images of me
And you
As oneness
As unity
Always on the horizon
You are chasing me for a lifetime
Intensely thirsty
Sometimes it seems that you have got me
A glimpse bringing the light into the emptiness
An epiphany showering you with ecstasy
So close
Almost real
This time
It must be it
Arrival
Bliss
Liberation
A mirage in the desert
And you are heartbroken and shattered
again and again
Burning your skin
while you want to hold onto the fire
with your bare hands
The sandcastles you build for us
Again and again
To move in, to live the dream
Under the honeymoon
High on the sweetest pain
That longing can serve you
Your mind is permeated
This image seducing you
Torturing you
Always in reach
Yet unreachable
Ever cascading
Dissolving
In front of your very eyes
With empty hands
You remain
Brought to your knees
Exhaustion eats you up
You surrender
The horizon disappears
Sand under your feet
Beautifully shimmering
running through your fingers
