Even if the world is a web

of lies and deceits

I would like to bask in

The warmth of your embrace

And believe in dreams

As the eyelids droop

On the cushion of your chest

Hold me tight so that I fight

Away the melancholic vibes

And  still cherish the guile

Of nurturing faith … Of trusting love

Of hoping that the earth is heaven

And humanity is not yet dead

Even if the world is a web

Of lies and deceits

Let me take a deep breath

Of tranquil rest in your arms

Feel the serene beat of your heart

Against mine and close my eyes

To everything that is fearsome

Fragile and  false and fake
