WHY ITS HAPPENED

Why I have done this, often I think that

Why I loved you, why I lost the sleep

Life hadn’t grievance, no any pain

As a sea eagle I have had been flown,

Above the ocean, clouds

Over the flowering vale, green canopy

Near the volcano, somersaulting

In the blues, on the tree twig

Sitting calmly looking the waves

Often I think that why I loved you

Life was the wild obstinate stream

Teasing and playing all

The time with rocks, submerging

Roots, floating moonlight

Falling down to river valley with

Numerous tiny crystals of water

Creating rainbows on the

Naked chest, sometimes embracing

The reflection of moon by wavy arms

Why I became unwavering, often I think so

Why I invited the stranger anguish

I don’t know why I loved you

Emotions were butterflies in the day

Seclusion attached to fireflies

Gazing the sky in the night

Tender dreams were very sweet

Talking with me all the time

There wasn’t any desire, just smaller

Wishes, to touch the lotus amid

The lake, to open the caged parrot, to

See the flying clouds on the sky

Why I loved you, why you confined my heart, 

Please say me why you cut my wings, 

why you loved me - - - - -
