TIMELESS LONGINGS! <br /> <br />Come to me during the night my love, - <br />Through the terrace garden’s rear door; <br />To smother my flaming passion, - <br />With your kisses and foaming snow! <br />While I rest a while in your arms my love, - <br />With my beating heart going fast to slow! <br />But you must leave by stealth my love, <br />Before the cock begins to crow! <br />You remain like a dark thought in my <br />mind, - <br />Which I keep hidden from the light of <br />day! <br />The sparkle you leave in my eyes, - <br />I cover with dark glasses during the day! <br />Like a red colored blossom my love, <br />During the day I remain all closed! <br />To open up at night for you, - <br />To bloom like a lovely rose! <br />And as my petals open and bloom, - <br />You must inhale its sweet perfume! <br />Let my fragrance cast a spell on you, - <br />When at dawn you take your flight; <br />So that you remember to visit me, - <br />During the dark hours of the night! <br />And should someone jealous of our love, <br />Should hunt you or strike you down! <br />I too shall jump into your grave, - <br />To remain with you underground! <br /> -Raj Nandy <br /> 24 Mar 09 <br /> New Delhi<br /><br />RAJ NANDY<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/timeless-longings/
