"Times New Roman","serif"">Silken…
"Times New Roman","serif"">Like those scented nights,
"Times New Roman","serif"">When my body,
"Times New Roman","serif"">Your lingering fragrance,
"Times New Roman","serif"">Fused as marvellous one;
"Times New Roman","serif"">All sensations,
"Times New Roman","serif"">Brain processes,
"Times New Roman","serif"">Reflexive movements,
"Times New Roman","serif"">Ceased,
"Times New Roman","serif"">Then, to be transformed
"Times New Roman","serif"">Instantly into a solid,
"Times New Roman","serif""> Single unit,
"Times New Roman","serif"">That
"Times New Roman","serif"">Became a thought-less one,
"Times New Roman","serif"">Under the short, perfumed
"Times New Roman","serif""> Star-lit
nights,
"Times New Roman","serif"">Presided over by a wandering
"Times New Roman","serif"">Waxing/Waning moon,
"Times New Roman","serif"">Restless and pining,
"Times New Roman","serif"">Like somebody in remembrance mode,
"Times New Roman","serif"">And in mortal pain,
"Times New Roman","serif"">And,
"Times New Roman","serif"">When icy cold winds from Arctic,
"Times New Roman","serif"">Failed to freeze the warmth of
"Times New Roman","serif""> This ad-hoc
unity
"Times New Roman","serif"">Of one body
and soul;
"Times New Roman","serif"">This strange solid fusion
"Times New Roman","serif"">When earthly dualism gets abolished,
"Times New Roman","serif"">And ethereal love reigns supreme,
"Times New Roman","serif"">Before being corrupted by later cynicism
"Times New Roman","serif"">Caused by cash-nexus:
"Times New Roman","serif"">In Detroit,
"Times New Roman","serif"">Delhi
"Times New Roman","serif"">Istanbul,
"Times New Roman","serif"">Or,
"Times New Roman","serif"">Hamburg;
"Times New Roman","serif"">But it was to occur later,
"Times New Roman","serif"">The scented silvery nights,
"Times New Roman","serif"">And a milky soothing moon,
"Times New Roman","serif"">Peeping in from an open window,
"Times New Roman","serif"">Like a curious child, woken up,
"Times New Roman","serif"">At mid-night;
"Times New Roman","serif"">Lovers as one,
"Times New Roman","serif"">The time it was,
"Times New Roman","serif"">Love ruled every revolving atom,
"Times New Roman","serif"">When two hearts beat strong and
"Times New Roman","serif"">In perfect unison,
"Times New Roman","serif"">But---
"Times New Roman","serif"">Were heard singing a sweet single note,
"Times New Roman","serif"">Beating loudly,
"Times New Roman","serif"">Raw passion foaming,
"Times New Roman","serif"">Burning red hot inside,
"Times New Roman","serif"">The moans heard clearly---
"Times New Roman","serif"">Across the silent nightly dales
"Times New Roman","serif"">And hills of all the
"Times New Roman","serif"">Known/ unknown
"Times New Roman","serif"">Continents
"Times New Roman","serif"">And choppy oceans.
