The Moonshine Of Your Iris Poem by abu tarek md tahsin

Among the buildings
Towering high
Along the city streets
Of your city and mine

Rests a hope
In the midnight moon
That seeks a treasure
That few seek true

A treasure as old
A treasure as new
Of today and yesterday
That we will come to know soon

There is wonder
In the blinking winter mist
And the cold summer breeze

A wonder
That few truly seek
And if you happen to be one
Come close your eyes
And embrace my heart


Come from far
Come from near
Come from whatever place
Come quick
Come sooner

For
Whatever we build
Whatever we break
Nothing is prettier
Than the moments we make

A thousand years folded
Into an hour
In the moonshine of your iris
That we will keep forever

Because
I will cease
So will you
Maybe years apart
Or just days a few

Tears will come
Laughter will follow
Whatever the day
Night is sure to follow


But the moments
We live
From today and yesterday
Is sure to stay
Long after we are all away

They will stay
In the scorching summer heat
In fields of flower
And seasons of spring

They will stay
In the moonshine of your iris
And the warmth of my heart
Because we did live
And we did love
