A drop of life

I was in search of a smile..
A smile coming all the way from a true heart..
I was looking for that heart warming stare...
A stare that would shiver the whole of me with the paint of love...

 

I was in need of a caring touch..
A touch that could quench my thirst for a mother's love....
I was looking for a pure heart...
A heart even holy than the heaven above...

 

I saw decades passing by my side...
And the hair greying out...
Every second was a long wait for me..
For a drop of life on this deserted earth...

 

And thus the decades passed by...
And I am still waiting with a pair of blinkless eyes...
My desire to embrace it, is still alive...
Yes, all I need is "a drop of life"
