The mist of mind clouds me,
As I see you glee,
Under the sparkling moonlight,
Beside the seashore and thicket of this night,
My heart retreats to your place,
Like a hungry tiger with a tremendous pace,
Oh! Please don’t veil your face,
An epitome of vibrancy and grace…
Below this gleam, your lips velvety red,
A symmetrical vermilion seam on your forehead,
You are my yin and yang;
All this --- My heart sang,
Because, the waves of your existence,
Trilled my soul with a twang!
