If Only You Agree

If only once you agree IF ONLY YOU AGREE I can fetch moon and stars, Oyster pearls from the deep And all the comfort of this world. If only once you agree! Stay assured I can’t do a bit. Believe me, I'm still a novice! I do not know, How to deduce you? How to amuse you? How to seduce you? But out of nothingness I know one thing for sure I can love you in all seasons and reasons. Like my perfumed hanky, my bifocal specks My medicines and my obsessions; You go with me, flow with me. Licking the raw wound I savour the flavour of your lips. A thousand women's breast smelled dried blood; I long for the jasmine fragrance of yours. I can’t survive without loving you, thinking of you, If you drift away like a Semul seed And ever decide to stop loving me some day Please do me a last favour; Leave behind your love-- then part Where ever, with whomever you please. PARIMAL KUMAR DAS © Semul is a tropical tree which disperse seeds in cotton like material
