CAN YOU?

You come to me as a prey of cupid, singing praises of my heart like you own it,
But look at me and do you see, what lies beyond the superficial part of me?
..............

Can you ?

Can you?
Can you listen to and not merely hear my voice ?
Can you look beyond my display and find the real person I am?
Can you seek my heart like a thief and rid it from its desire to hide?
Can you, though hard it is in action but simple to the ears, can you embrace my very soul?
Can you make me yours with just a gentle look from your eyes?
Can you want me like you want air, for the very existence of your life depends on it ?
Can you kiss my wandering spirit and make it want to stay?
Can you hold me like a lamb in my direst moments?
Can you not view me with eyes of human lust but with a will to make a bond of everlasting trust?
Can you let me in your dreams and have me mend your wounds?
Can you last with me through all my tempests and  still look upon me with a smile?
Can you let me touch your heart and keep it as my treasure?
Can you perceive love as I do?
Can you?
