I WANT YOU TO KNOW
Far and wide I travelled
to find you…
This you should know!
Scores of people I met
before you I saw…
I crossed oceans
I carved roads on clouds…
In thunder and storm
your form became my shield!
You ought to know!
Hostile lands I made my home
I drank water from the seas
my thirst to quench…
This you should know!
Hope wrapped up my body
keeping it warm at night…
The stars were my guide…
but their light flickered!
A handful of joy
dispersed in the air…
A tear hung around my neck
A smile buried in sweltering heat
I want you to know!
I caught a glimpse of your radiance
through the haze
and, with bated breath,
I met your limpid gaze
and into your waters I rushed to
plunge
of my ceaseless wanderings
to wash off the mud.
This, you should know!
I want you to know!
INVIGORATING NEED
My heart stands still
in your presence!
Reverent are the hours that virtues
become
and set sail on the vessel of my
love.
The sky remoulds the world for you,
injecting hues in colourless things
reshaping the clouds
to form a rainbow smile…
My love invigorating
will enfold you…
It will blossom for you!
Open wide the blinds of your soul
remove your bolts
the torrent of my passion
all around you
will be raging.
.
STENTORIAN RADIANCE
Be still! Await a while my steps to
heed,
the ones that lead to you!
Hold still! My heavy breath no
longer stands
to trail behind your thoughts
to overtake wild throbs!
Throbs of yearning… yearning to
conjoin
To swirl and spin….to twirl and
blend…
Like raindrops merging with the
river flow.
Hold still! That I may embrace you
while your life-giving gaze leads
me
to happiness unbound…to happiness
untamed!
Hold still! My steps thither I have
traced…
To the stentorian radiance of your
existence
To the stentorian might of your
love!
