A TETE-A-TETE WITH LOVE

A TETE-A-TETE WITH LOVE

¼^I;kj ls ckrphr yhyk/kj txwM+h: English translation by GPBahuguna½

Call it lewd but it was instinctive

Though rude but realistic

However over used yet lively

The Love I received in one corner for a brief moment

It was my luck that I met my Love

I wanted to say thanks

I wanted to feel grateful

I wanted to own it everywhere and forever.

My Love, first whispered something

Then started crying.

But the next moment, as if nothing had happened

It pronounced- I love you

Have you chosen me finally?

Because you choose and drop

You again pick up and leave.

Having chosen me to be your own

You sometimes-pickup anger, sometimes-intense dislike

Or asceticism.

Sometimes you choose monotony, sometime aloofness

Sometime you choose your mother

Sometimes your wife

One day you prefer your ideals

The other day your country.

Whereas I know

None of your nights

Are morally sound.

Since you need me

You want to possess me

I also need you.

Save your own life what other assets do you possess?

The relationship, which you call friendship

I want that to secured in your eyes, in your ears, in your nose,

And in your speech all-together.

I want the core of your heart and the spirit

Your loveliest thoughts

In nutshell I want to possess everything of yours.

In the last but not the least,

I want you to die for me also

Whether for small causes in my name

Or a total merger for my cause
