Mellow day in green
I owe this to you.
Rain-drenched dawn
When I saw your face.
Light of infancy eluding my face
Girl, I like you.
Beside sun-drenched morning, lingers sky
Steer your eyes toward me --
If I so ogle, let
My eyes make a river.
A river which by moonlit nights
Turns into a deer.
Let silence only know
Whisperings of deer.
Wherein silence cradled -
Along wandering currents.
Fault with the ripples? - No !
Lay your palm in the air.
An airy game? You must be kidding.
Let me watch, from this earth of mine.
All clarity in earth? -- Perhaps!
Come closer then.
Closer? -- I deem not!
Far, farther to rivers and seas.
Sea is but salty
Not inclined - even to touch.
You can touch the river --
But, if it turns dry?
Dry bed - all sandy.
Pour water ,touch the wet sand.
Thrust of that pouring
Will drown the entire neighborhood.
Crossing this neighbourhood you meet the village
I went once, randomly wandering.
Around shelves of the village
Rivers slept serene.
Beneath the river lies
A bed of sand and gold.
Will you die drowning
In your quest for gold?
Alright, let the forces drown me
I will float sooner.
Where to drift floating?
Wings - I will get.
Will name them parting grasses -
Golden grasses.
And I'll whisper, "Listen,
Be more gentle.
There will be newer winds
There will be going near -
You. Much easier -
And more easier it will be.
Then, will you love me? Say --
When will you love me? "
