All Night Long
Faint footsteps of fragile heartbeats
paced to-and-fro on my heart’s crimson carpet,
while the phantom of past reminiscences haunted me
all night long!
Somewhere sobbing sky melted, bit by bit
dribbling midst the curves of cumulus clouds
and somewhere a shining star sang sad serenades of lost love
all night long!
As the moths of your memoirs
buzzed around the flickering flame of my love-scented heart,
my soul glowed brightly in the dark alcove of my body
all night long!
I, like a vagabond, wandering aimlessly,
on the dark path of your heart’s hidden habitat,
lit the lamp of your memories and chanted your name
all night long!
When glum-eyed evening sheds star-lit tears
and moonlight hums a silvery lullaby,
Tuck me in, against your balmy bosom
as I want to sleep in your amorous arms
all night long…
