Covered from head to toe.
Of a different culture though.
And yet, you seem as if someone I knew
from a land filled with flowers and dew.
Why do you seem to call out to me
even though unknown, inviting me for tea
when all I would desire is your presence
in private, a friend, a lover, would take make sense?
The burning lamp sends messages via your silhouette.
I receive the coded love hidden, true I bet.
Meet we cannot as of now
I promise, we will get together someday, somehow!
