FOR HER, JUST HERS....FOREVER
I see spring waving its last goodbyes
And tears dance again in my sad eyes
Another autumn is at my doorstep
And my beloved too must have wept
At this changing of seasons...
How many more songs should I listen to
How many emails explaining too
That my spring will soon enter my life
And stay like a spring that never flies...
What sort of a living am I putting up with
With certainty slowly and slowly withering
All expectations of pure romancing
With my beloved, beautiful, rare woman...
Faith and hope still cast their light
On my heart but it's not that bright
As I look yonder at a parting sigh
Of a green maiden leaving me to cry
Ah! The green fairy has sadly walked away
And golden brown colours of slow decay
Make me return to songs, emails
Sent by my beloved for me as sails
For the boat which has only me
And my heart tossing in a vast sea...
I am losing the tussle with my years
And optimism is giving way to fears
Whether I will ever reach the shore
Where my beloved, rare woman's cheers
Will for me open her loving heart's door
And usher me to her divine dwelling
As our arms entwine and become hoops
And hugs and kisses of passion swoop
Cleaving separation, keeping us clasped
To each other in the great love grasped
After the killing long spell of waiting
And the odds that kept surmounting
Like gigantic cliffs with twists and turns
Like genies laughing with sarcasm
As my boat defied every ebb and tide
To be closest to my loved one's side...
Will this dream of mine become a fact
Or will I keep enacting my fateful act
Interspersed with the songs she sends
And the emails too which neatly blend
Giving a breath of life to the spark
Flickering like a dim lamp in thick dark
Will I be able to successfully steer my boat
Till I can rush into her waiting arms and float
In her dreamy, teary, love-filled eyes
And rejoice at finding my paradise?
Then this sailor's songs might rhyme
With the love she'll say: was just mine.
Is that blissful hour destined to come
Or will I be gulped by the sea's demon?
Whatever happens she will know one day
That the sailor's love for her did stay
Not for a while like a sport or play
But forever, just hers, night and day...
