Love For The Beloved .
Long before the clicking of time-clock ,
When memory had no advent ,
Your abstract image planted its reflection ,
In the all mirrored prism of my soul .
I had many a query and musing ,
On the occasional projections ,
And silently condensed forms and figures ,
Like the recovery of oblivious dreams .
In temple ,church and caves ,the same image ,
The same exploration ,more in wretched and outcast ,
Had an impelling sway as if a drop of water holds thousand oceans ,
Like the ardent cry of an widow damsel ,
For a promised off-sea captain ,
Or the dry-throat of a pilgrim in a desert-,
To have a peg to quench thirst ,
I claim as your shadow ,and murmur ever ,
Oh! My unborn ,ancient , eternal lover !
