IF ONLY I CAN

IF ONLY I COULD
 

 For how long shall I wait for dawn,
 To bring back my sunshine?
For how long shall I continue,
To watch the moon and the stars?
For how long shall I listen to the noise,
Of night creatures and the winds?
Instead of the romantic serenades you used to sing…

If I can roll hours and minutes and seconds,
I would let the dawn come now,
When I would listen to your soothing smile,
And your heart racing heartbeat
If only I could…

For long have I waited,
To dance to the tunes of your heartbeat.
When shall I look into your eyes again,
And whisper into your ears how I feel?
When shall I hold your tender hands,
And pull you to zero distance between us?
That I’ll call siku njema…

If only I could run time,
Switch off the cloud of darkness,
That hovers on my sunshine
I would chase the stars and the moon,
And welcome the warmth of my sunshine,
And listen to delicious tunes of your violin.
If only I could…
