Synonym For Love, This Bench
Synonym for love ah this bench,
For many a dream dreamt on bench,
The refuge of a last resort—
Felt by all that sat on this bench,
Of two happy souls’ hearty tales,
Filled to brim with joy by this bench,
Hand-in-hand old thirst when they quench,
A mute witness this happy bench.
Many come maybe soon to leave,
But where if ever goes this bench?
And when I pen paeans in its praise,
Lotus-leaf-untouched stays this bench.
Drop all pains to know, O poet,
It’s myth-like vain to know this bench.
