Joseph and Julekha
We were like ancient Egypt’s Joseph and Julekha
You attracted me
But guilty feelings barred me again and again
From making love to you
We were like two flowers on a branch of tree
A stranger has plucked you up
And sold you in the marketplace
We were like two birds singing a love song
A storm has separated us and we are lost
Now we are like one soul having two bodies
Living in two separate worlds all day all night
With hopes and dreams like a dying supernova
