As if, all the energies were connected with your existence.

SONG OF LOVE

After your departure

I could not compose any song of love

As if, all the energies were connected with your existence

When you went

Since then, my life is sad

Springs are angry with me

There are no fragrances in the air

Like earlier

Neither there is warmth under the sun

The faces of friends are void of feelings

Those who were found of me earlier

Those who were shaking hands coming forward to meet me earlier

All have hidden somewhere in the oblivion

There are no nightingale, no flowers

There is no moonlight, no Jasmine

As if, the moonlight has gone

Along with the departure of the moon

When you have departed

My heart stealer has also gone,

After your departure

I could not compose any song of love

***

YOU WILL FORGET EVERYONE

You will see,

I will love you so deeply

You will forget everyone

You will become my darling

Your world,

Your universe

Will constraint in me

My image

Will come down in the mirror of your heart

In the absence of me

You will not be able to even live

Without my imagination

In me

You live in such a way

Like nails grow in flash

Every moment in me

You live in such a way

Like beatings in a heart

In my conscience

You live in such a way

Like a soul is bound with the body

You just trust me

You are my real craving

You are my solace of heart

You are my luxury of life

You will see,

I will love you so deeply

You will forget everyone

You will become my darling

***

MY YOUNG LADY

My dear young lady

How will you love me?

So young are you

I am sure, you are crazy

There are lots of suffering, worry and blue

Think once again

What do you want to do?

 

Love demands sacrifice

Will you get ready?

To shed your virtue and vice

You are so young

Think twice

Counsel with your

Heart and soul

Take your mind’s advice

 

Love is the finest blessings

God has bestowed ever to human

Like the story of Adam and Eve

 

Love is a driving force

That brings close a man to his woman

 

Your tender rouge blushing

Your dazzling ruby eyes

Your soft gentle hugs

Your fingers touches on my neck

Makes me every time

Make my heart sublime

 

My dear young lady

You are my first love

Fragrance like buds of rose

Softness like a humble dove

 

I am afraid,

If I couldn’t do justice

Cause you are so snob

I am poor, O my majesty

You are so young

Will you abandon for me, everyone

Look my sweet lady before the leap

I will work hard and love you deep

I will play like a boy for you my lad

To keep you happy to make you glad

I will never leave you alone

I will never make you feel sad

I will gift you a beautiful baby

Who can call me daddy

Trust me,

O my dear young lady
