You Are My Escape
written by: Khalid Belkhalfi
When times are hard,
and when noises are smacking cruelly
from everywhere and
are giving me headaches,
And when I need someone to lean on
I know then, I can count on you…
I then, close my eyes to see
complete darkness
Everything I hate get erased
I don’t see suffering anymore;
all the bad interferences
get turned off
and no hurt knocks on my brain…
But you are the unturned off lights
All I have to do is
stretch my arms to reach you
And feel the softness of your silky body
I can hear your whispers in my ears
calling my name from wherever you are
Your scent embraces my soul
and we make one …
This is when I’m in total harmony
with the universe
I’m where I belong, I’m free at last,
and away from the creatures
of the dark world
You are my inspiration, my freedom
You are my escape…
