SOMETHING SPECIAL

Do not know, where gone your

Attentiveness, as you loved me

Before intensely, I’m missing

The grip, tenderness, those killing

Sting, the flames of passion, would

Not you akin to clarify candlelit

Evening again, in the shadow of

Banyan tree, behind the heap of

Broken Terracotta wares, the first

Kiss, did not appeal you, wild lemon

Blossom tree, summer twilight

Sinking claret rays of sun into the

Hyacinth merged pond, where gone

That Craziness, to see me you ran

Bare foot, in the darkness, on the

Thorny path, close to the temple of

Hindu empire, I had removed

The broken piece of glass from your

Soft leg, did you remember that

Moment, teardrop of your eyes were

Falling down to my neck, kissing

To piercing point, you embraced me

Unknowingly and said you couldn’t

Live without me, lemon tree bloomed

Water lilies, hyacinth stalk, everything

Is existed in its place, I’m waiting

For you, as ancient shrine waits every

Twilight for priest, for a glance of light

Some moments in love heart wants

To lit the melted candles, life doesn’t

Wish to wipe the sweet memories

It has a different zest or pain, 

Something special close to heart.
