Where Are You Now

I've looked through sea of faces

And oceans of eyes

I've looked through hills of people

But your comforting body wasn't there

I've heard a thousand voices

And a million sounds

I'm surrounded by a fog of noise

But your lovely voice wasn't there

I've smelled a plethora of aroma

And swamped by some more

I'm enveloped by fragrances

But your soothing scent wasn't there

I've sipped a river of drinks

And dine on a pasture of dishes

I have sampled all tastes known to men

But the taste of your sweet kisses wasn't there

I've touched innumerable silk and cashmeres

I've pricked on numerous daggers

I've felt the tender babe to the gentle aging

But the feel of your skin wasn't there

Where are you now, my sun and stars?

Where are you now, the light of my life?

Where are you now, treasure of my heart?
I've come so far for you, so far

In the cold loneliness I shivered

Is this a dream

Is this a nightmare

Is this the end

The tears have welled up and fell

The heart has been broken and shattered

The dream and life has lost its purpose

And still I search for you

Where are you now?

Are you there where the bird chirped beautifully?

Are you there where the brook babbled sweetly?

Are you there where the flowers swayed gently?

Are you there where the sun shone brightly?

Are you there where the wind howled frightfully?

Are you there where the trees creaked menacingly?

Are you there where the thunder screamed and lightning stroke?

Are you there where the night never ends?

Where are you now, with your laughter as sweet as a bell?

Where are you now, with your smile as bright as the moon?

Where are you now, with your touch as gentle as the spring rain?

Where are you now, with your love as wonderful as life itself?

Far and long have I walked

With the burden upon my heart

And the sorrow shackled on my ankle

Yet still I search for you

Where are you now, my dearest?

Where are you now, my beloved?

Where are you now?

And why aren't you with me?
