Let’s Part Ways
Let’s be separated
In the spring seasons
Let’s be entangled into pronunciations
Of names we entitled
Each other,
With longing, with love
We called each other,
Let you be the body of
People of the world,
I’ll be the soul of love only,
Live in the existence
Of Oneness only,
Yes never!
But can call you
The part of my existence
The tears from eyes,
O, from breathing the sobs,
From my body I shall pull out
My life and soul,
As the skin is cut off
The bones,
Same way I’ll cut you
Away from my body,
From my each and every vein,
I’ll rill you out from my blood,
O take out my life..!
Then, if I yet remain alive
To extent,
I shall never utter
Your name ever
Shall never utter
Your name ever!
