I won’t betray you
In the name of love,
Have faith in me,
To you I beseech so.
Don’t the dancing branches,
The glassy sea,
The sands like gold,
And the mynah hark back to our past moments?
Oh God! Why are all so broken and blown?
Where is that kingdom of love?
So familiar it used to be
But now utterly unknown.
As the scorching summer
Blows the flames on all sides,
My heart is burning alike and drying out
As the winter imbibes all the water.
Be mine forever
In the name of love
And for the sake of childlike virtue
That has its home in my heart, inner.
