Wake me up when September end - Azrina Husain

Wake me up when September ends, so he says
If someday you came
You make him smile
You make him laugh
You make him want
To open doors and close them behind

Wake me up when September ends, she says
If yesterday you came
You took her, smile
You took her, laugh
You took her wants
To have be left in the rain, cold
To have be left in the cold, cold
To pick up shattered pieces and throw


Please , just
Wake me up when September end

Love After Love

The time will come
when, with elation,
you will greet yourself arriving
at your own door, in your own mirror,
and each will smile at the other's welcome,

and say, sit here. Eat.
You will love again the stranger who was your self.
Give wine. Give bread. Give back your heart
to itself, to the stranger who has loved you

all your life, whom you ignored
for another, who knows you by heart.
Take down the love letters from the bookshelf,

the photographs, the desperate notes,
peel your own image from the mirror.
Sit. Feast on your life.

- Derek Walcott
