of raisins and lovers

we collected honey mildew
from the grape flower that we have planted
alongside with our love
there you squeezed the best out of me
and drank my nectar
and when it is my turn
you gave it all the way
without a sweat
now the sun is getting high and sunshine is all over the plantation
calendar is falling its leaves on the floor
i can see our shadow revolving under the sunlight flow
it's time for us to pick the grapes in a row
so shiny so sweet
just like our love and beyond
fruits come in diffrent sizes; diffrent colors
violet is so sweet and ripe
like we are on the verge of the clouds
green is so sour and raw
like when we used to fight each other
and the shape of each molds like tears in the rain
everytime we are arguing
how i love thee
planting grapes in the field
what i cannot tolerate are the growing vines of doubts
crawling beneath our back
no, my scythe is clearly sharp and entwined to cut it soon
i cannot let our plantation of love grow in sorrow and darkness
we are not yet finished gathering our grapes of love
and as we grow old
our fruits of labour
will gone dry and still sweet
just like a raisin or dried grape
we may get wrinkled and crippled
but my heart will remain strong and standing by your side
no matter what kind of disaster it may withstand
i still have my roots of affection planted on earth
dedicated for you to grow
and protect you from harm
for you, you're my bud of flowers
needed to be nurtured and guided
with all of these ordeals
we will soon have our drink of grape wine
and enjoy till the grapes turn to raisins.
