And I wonder

And I wonder

Damian Semwayo

When I look into your eyes, what do I see?
A reflection of your soul, a truth set free.
Beyond handsome features that catch my gaze,
A depth of emotions, a captivating maze.

When I peer into your soul, what lies within?
Is it a radiant light, a soul untamed, no sin?
Or do I find a facade, a deceptive art?
A devil in disguise, playing a false part?

In the corridors of your mind, what thoughts take flight?
Are they hopeful and bright, chasing away the night?
Or do pessimism and nihilism play their game,
Coloring each utterance of your name?

When our hands touch, what stirs in the air?
Is it compassion, a connection we both share?
Or is it just a fleeting sensation that fades,
Leaving no trace, like whispers in cascades?

To be honest, my love, I often wonder too,
What lies beneath the surface, what’s really true.
But amidst all the questions, one thing remains,
I love you deeply, regardless of what my mind contains.
