Love me for what I am

Save the white cloud in the corner
keep it unchanged, as is
even if It’s not a bed of rose petals
where lust quenches its thirst.
The drops of dew in the morning
You shouldn’t expect to be diamonds
because when formed on new leaves
caressed by dawns first sight
they look livelier than a pearl.
And when touched by a dove’s wing
you don’t feel flame but light instead.
The little camomile flower in the corner
covered by grass leaves and morning kisses
you can’t expect to change
for it could not become an orchid
So even if the world where I am living
seems strange distant and far to you
please give me a place in your planet
love me for what I am
unchanged in your heart.
