If You Be With Me More In My Life

Yes I shouldn’t! 
But yes—I should.
For I should not 
mourn my whole life
Should I?
I could be more than 
an ordinary man
And could write more 
than a mini-poet!
We could have 
together dreamt in 
dormant winters,
And walked a lovers-
walk
By the blue lake’s 
bank in the balmy 
summer.
Sparrows on willows 
would have 
whispered,
Fishes swimming 
along the shallow 
shore
Secretly overheard.
You praising that 
Hindi writer-scholar
I an Irish poet-
senator...
I would try in Iambic 
meter
And find ample words 
that would rhyme
If, you be with me 
more in my life
As someone, more 
than a friend, less 
than a wife!
