A SILENT AND UNSUCCESSFUL
LOVER'S SONG
I can dig for you a fathomless
ocean of pity
To live in a dry, desolate desert,
I can leave a Metro city
I can sign against my worst and
sworn rival a peace treaty
I can plant an ever green
Kalpavriksha of generosity!
I can stretch myself, with least reluctance and
regret,
As broad and bounteous as the
limitless space;
For your sake only, o my only pearly, priceless Love
I can walk faster even than the
wind’s wondrous pace!
I can spell sweeter than the lip
smacking sweets
O my dearest and rarest darling,
only for you
The finest and most enviable
apparel of true love
I can, with the tread of loyalty, embroider
and sew!
I can build an Everest-like lofty
love-Mehal
For you only to serenely and
peacefully reside.
Yes, making you my sweet and saccharine
bride
Is a matter of great, grand and
gorgeous pride!
I can versify you into an immortal,
rhythmic rhyme
That can be hummed and crooned by
true, silent lovers
In their throbbing, pulsating and
vociferous pantomime
To impress upon their beloveds to
rain in their dry clime!
I can be a better and more power
generating dynamo
Only for your tireless celestial love;
Ah! When you are blissfully beside
me
The Moon is mine, ah! Mine is the
Globe!
Do trust , no mundane sacrifice
seems to your silent lover costlier
To treasure your shy nods, and
book a room in your heart’s berth.
Do listen, no waiting is too
tedious, lengthy and interminable
To be one with you, if not in this
life, in any other ensuing birth!
*Kalpavriksha - a wish granting tree in Hindu belief
N.B: How many others love my beloved does not matter to me;but what matters to me most is how much my beloved loves me.
