Humble Awe

Dr Vivek Madhukar 1971 (Dhanbad)

So radiant a face
Such warmth of love
And so cosy a bosom,
Belong only to a
Soul that's
Pure and winsome.

To sacrifice the rays of the sun
On so lovely a face
I wanna sacrifice heaven over hell
For so comely a grace.

It consoles my heart
To think when the war is waged,
To sacrifice my life
And get your heart that's caged.
