Naked truths

Oh, have you ever known
How truly charming you are
when you look on with these beautiful eyes?

Neither you nor I
or spooky coincidences and harsh fate
nor the crowd entertained by the sea waves’ bizarre voice and the sun’s inevitable fade,
can find the meaning in you and me!
And those who define us a lonely woman and a crazy man,
cannot grasp meaning of the love that we made every night.

We were the ones that whom they think as odd strangers,
while they were trapped in the absence of meanings
and without knowing what it means to be we!
But we freed them with our nakedness
with each step we made with our bare feet
and with elusive and hard facts.

Whereas
we were still mysterious adventurers
in places where everyone looks like one another,
where everyone rushes, and tries of being anyone
but never to be real themselves!
Would they ever know where is the right place
and to be the right one at the right time?
Maybe this is just an old tale to them that never existed!
Or only a dream they keep wishing to come true!

Oh would you ever know
these beautiful eyes that you looked upon
are only memories now, like in a photo frame?
Which will remind me of the naked truths
beyond the feelings and above the meanings
we have experienced!
