ESHA, THIS IS WHY YOUR MEMORIES CAN'T BE FORGOTTEN.Esha, you relent and melt faster than a piece of ice in a bucket full of water
At the pathetic sight of the needy, oppressed and downtrodden bitter!
Your benevolent heart is softer than the finest mulberry silk,
And, the spring of your generosity is sweeter than a Mother's Milk!
Esha, when your eye lids blink for the hundredth part of a second,
It seems deathly darkness upon the earth, over centuries has reigned!
And, when your two lively lithe lips open up to deliver a luring word,
My blithe heart dances like gay daffodils as if bestowed upon the richest reward!
Esha, men do come and men do go like the receding objects for my life's train,
But, no one has ever been such a healing herb like you to end my pain
Pouring so much cooling comfort on a life charring by unbearable heat of hardship
And guiding safely through the roughest Arabian Sea my life's battered ship!
Thus, I love you as the shiuli flowers love the soft breeze and warm Sun of the dawn:
The more moments pass by, the dearer you become, and your memories unforgotten!
