Beloved

Oh my beloved
unlock yourself from my mind
and appear before my eyes
whenever I think about you
so that I can see you
when I long to be near you

When my mind's stream of yearnings
starts pouring out like a waterfall
and flows as a river of romantic verses
that I write only for you
oh! how much I wish
that those words of love
that my muse sprinkles in a blank paper
gather themselves on their own
to sketch an alphabetic portrait of you
so that I could keep gazing
at your charming face

When fate, like a monster, separates us

All I wish is... 

To just be the last word 
of your most inspiring verse
that you already have in your mind
and yet to write in pen and paper

To just be an unstressed syllable
of your name
whenever and wherever
your name is called out loud
to honour you

To just be the faint flickering light
at the end of the dark tunnel
of your dull dreary days
