A LOVE LETTER

I try to write with trembling hand

Wishing words come from my heart

Which beats and leaps up much

Though my will tries to press it

With my passion and tenderness

It is your eyes that drag my essence

Into affection and warm-heartedness

And your smile that anchor my feelings

Your incarnation beckons my psyche.

Seeing the dreamy rain shower

And silvery moonlight fans out

Over hills and dales

My heart feels exaltation and bliss,

Only because of your fondness

The bright daylight and gentle breeze;

The singing birds and pretty drizzle;

Charming flowers and butterflies

Everything romantic reminds me

Your presence is certain

In my desolate life

I wish in my heart to write you

A thousand lines to show you

My deep inner thoughts.

But the physique doesn’t follow the spirit

And I write with trembling fingers

Only this single line-

‘May I perhaps request you to my life?’
