Let Me Live Long

The mind binds me in the golden cage of mirage Running I'm on the sandy shore of timing race The balmy sea breeze of poems vibrate the thought Losing I'm slowly all in the gyre of an epidemic pot Butterflies leaving their embroidered wings On the back of pegasus crossing dead seas, On the forlorn pebbles the melancholic rings Calling me to dive into the forever love myths All of your in the unexpressed words Which flying as like the poetic mind birds On the crystal mirror of thy erotic eyes Merely I'm reading your tongue-tied sighs Let me live, let me live long with you out of the pestilence Only togetherness of love can save from bad side-glance April 20, 2021 Chattogram © Mahtab Bangalee
