Will you?

I will walk with you down those hills
As the shadow follows it's sunlit self 
Across those untouched desert sands
Places named after sounds and winds 
Will you follow footsteps of tomorrow?

I will be in the starlight that you seek 
At a full moon dusk, half-lit, half-drowned 
At an ocean that churned without remorse
And gently curved your fatelines into mine 
Will you set your palm upon mine? 

I will wait for you near our river at the alcove
A hundred years ago, a million years from now
You parted my hair and painted scarlet kisses
And brought me sarees woven of cardamom scents 
Will you tie those jasmine dreams in my hair?

I will be the name that you will close your eyes to
As cold water touches your face in naked spaces
