The Soul Of A Whole World

Between remote hugs
With calm smiles
The soul is found
Of a whole world

Between handshakes
From distance
With distracted eyes
They saddened me!

Between kisses from a distance
Dying and longing
The soul is found
Of a whole world

Between signs of love
From a distance, hugs
Kisses and handshakes
The soul is found
Of a whole world

When these gestures
Of love they sold out
They refused!
It’s like feeling a poison
That marks us burns us
Like a fire!

Among all these feelings
From distance
With calm smiles
With distracted eyes
They saddened me!

Dying kisses
And in longings
The soul remains
From a whole world.

In the stillness
Of a whole world
They are stranded
Kisses, hugs
And the longings

In the stillness
Of the entire world
They are stranded
The feelings
And in the stillness of the whole world
The universe weeps with sorrow!
