A Lover’s Lament (Paul Callus & Redfiery ( smriti Jha) ~ 2017) A LOVER'S Lament Summer took its toll, Dried up the waters of our love. We found ourselves stranded On the arid river bed Dreaming of encroaching clouds. We thirsted for the promise of rain And love’s reincarnation. Rough winds carried away all hopes Storm took away what we had We pined for...

His poetic voice rides across the sea I could swear that Paul is speaking to me With rhythm in his words, peace in his heart I find Paul and I are not far apart Collaboration takes little effort Conflicts in tone we easily avert In Malta he writes by soft candlelight When I’m still blessed by generous daylight Paul takes me to depths...
