Come my friend and hold my hand for sometime
Enough have you walked so sit beside me a while
While the dawn is distant and the hue of dusk still sublime
There are miles to dream of yet, so are the reasons to smile
An obliterated world filled with some memories so sweet
Where roses are still intoxicated by your undying fragrance
That secluded corner of day where we used to meet
And sing carols of life among whispers of heavens
Wetness in raindrops, nothing but your dripping gleam
Kissing insipid terrains and unleashing the aroma within
All this would come to an end so soon, it did not seem
Against the supremacy of fate our slender wrists couldn’t win
Yes, I’ve tears in my heart not because we could never meet
Nor because silence always hypnotized my fluid words
But for the irony this hour’s given me before the tacit retreat
When I’ll become a part of sky with those soaring birds
Poignant remembrance of yours, I will keep in my eyes
And close them forever so no one can ever take it away
Love between us, unborn yet immortal on the silver skies
Perhaps will manifest itself, immaculate, some day
The restlessness of waves and their longing for moon
A silent witness of which is the solitary shore
Drenched with a taste and hope that they’ll come soon
Forever in incomplete embrace, when did it ask for more?
Always content with a handful of oysters left behind
As souvenirs of a brevity, plain, wet and white
Hopeful that its voice will resonate across until the waves find
And rush for an eternal rendezvous despite the moonlight.
