Subimal Sinha-Roy Poet Lyric

Entwined Shadows

I’ve been waiting for a long time for you
To walk with me here
I’ve been wandering lonely
Looking for you far and near
Take you to the valley of flower
With the hues of my desire
My longing will bloom you’ll see
And you’ll know how much I love you my dear

You’re mine, 
Let me open my heart like never before to show
It’s a desolate ruin
And the loneliness I can’t bear
And if you do not trust me
Come and look awhile at its shattered shadow

I feel you embrace me gently my love
Place your luscious lips on mine
I roam about in a trance
And don’t know even if I pine
Are you really with me 
Or your shadow made by my craving 
That shapes your love
I see in my dream of yearning 

Be with me, 
Let me open my heart like never before to show
It’s a desolate ruin
And the loneliness I can’t bear
And if you do not trust me
Come and look awhile at its shattered shadow

Please hold my hand fondly darling
I’ll take you to the azure sea
The waves dancing in delight
Spread on beach pearls of glee
Where beauty charms our sight
As in the sky stars glow
As the silver moonshine sparkles
They will find us in the entwined shadows

You’re mine, 
Let me open my heart like never before to show
It’s a desolate ruin
And the loneliness I can’t bear
And if you do not trust me
Come and look awhile at its shattered shadow
