Elevation Poem by abu tarek md tahsin

elevate me
you do!
like the clouds
rumbling down
this old landscape.

elevate me
you do!
from the fathomless valley
of my sorrow.

elevate me
you do!
not with your angelic smile
not with your mesmerizing eyes
not with your beckoning aroma

elevate me
you do!
with the simple longings of life

elevate me
you do!
with your abusive chatter
shattering my late night serenity.

elevate me
you do!
with your caressing touch
upon my life's end.

elevate me
you do!
when we shout
and fall asleep
not remembering who won

and when we awake
the next day
each holding on to the other
as like forever.
