RAJ NANDY - ** TIMELESS LONGINGS!

TIMELESS LONGINGS!

Come to me during the night my love, -
Through the terrace garden’s rear door;
To smother my flaming passion, -
With your kisses and foaming snow!
While I rest a while in your arms my love, -
With my beating heart going fast to slow!
But you must leave by stealth my love,
Before the cock begins to crow!
You remain like a dark thought in my
mind, -
Which I keep hidden from the light of
day!
The sparkle you leave in my eyes, -
I cover with dark glasses during the day!
Like a red colored blossom my love,
During the day I remain all closed!
To open up at night for you, -
To bloom like a lovely rose!
And as my petals open and bloom, -
You must inhale its sweet perfume!
Let my fragrance cast a spell on you, -
When at dawn you take your flight;
So that you remember to visit me, -
During the dark hours of the night!
And should someone jealous of our love,
Should hunt you or strike you down!
I too shall jump into your grave, -
To remain with you underground!
