Insane Lover

a poem by Ajith

Keep that mirror for me in front of you
Look at those eyes the ones I carry in heart

You are my dawn, you are my dusk
You are my breaths, you are my world

Your words, your voice
So caring dipped in love

Can’t you see the pain in my heart
Can’t you feel the wounds in my mind

I see ways to reach you but my genie says ‘no’
Dissolving me in solitude abandoning me in silence

Lost in the trance of your beautiful eyes
Let me sleep in your arms

I await you at a crossing
I await my name to be called

Wish you call me my forgotten name
All night long till next dawn

Let me be your lips when you say my name
Let me be your tongue when you say I love you

Lift that masquerade let me see your face
The most elegant one, oh! celestial perfection

You said you’ll find me if I am lost
You’ll lick my tears if I weep

Tears have frozen, they refuse to bid
Farewell to me, you cannot wipe’em off

Let them remain, coz they are your memories
Cherished in my mind unerasable till I live

If its a crime to think about you
Punish me if you want let me accept

Allow me to walk till the end of life
Till I die in your lap

Let nobody be there with us
Only you, only me

You are my lady destined to be mine
But only in thoughts and in mind

God, I know you are a genie
I am only a stranger, an insane lover

You are so far away now, I cannot see you
Have you gone, back to your castle?

I wonder why am I here pressing these keys,
Writing your name again and again

Give me that potion of love and care
Let me relish it and bid farewell…
