I FEEL YOUR COMING: Poem by Christos Dikbasanis

You come from the Universe
Inside a golden box
you bring me the gift of life
You reverently place in my hands

I feel your coming
I feel you next to me
I hear your breath
You smell vanilla and basil
Your fingers are wet from interstellar travel
You tenderly caress my dreams and desires
You carefully collect the drops of my sweat
You gaze upon the firmament with your piercing eyes
urging me to come up there with you
But I have so many obligations
and so many regrets down here on Earth
I don’t have time for travels

You hold a bundle of golden corn ears
in your hands
plucked from the field of your dreams
that you didn’t get to bring to life
You wet your hair with the foam
of the early summer sea
You open one last bottle of wine
with a rich flavor from the passage of centuries
which were irretrievably lost
Above us a bright sun
blows my mind

You come from the Universe
tenderly show me that our common future
isn’t here on the Earth but beyond in the stars
in the deep embrace of infinity
We belong there
me and you my lonely star
first love of my life
