With you

A Poem by Marium Mustafa

for my fiance

With you i want to feel, the magic of a kiss,
with you i want to see, the fairy meadow dreams.
With you i want to wander, in the jungles dark and green,
and eat the red, wild berries,nuts and beans.
With you i want to fly, up above the skies,
and runaway one night, with stars as our guide.
With you i want to walk, in the flowers pink and peach,
and swing like a belle on ropes tied on trees,
With you i want to sleep, on the beach and stare at the stars,
steal, hide and drink an exotic punch at a bar.
Then dance away the night wearing a princess gown,
with flowers in my hat and a pretty red bow.
With you i want to climb a mountain very high,
and meet some pretty birdies and hear those goaties nigh.
With you i want to drench in the monsoon rains,
and while listening to the music, forget all the worldly pains.
With you i want to snuggle in a warm blanket every winter night.
and sleep then forever, when God sets the time.
