Chase me as a cloud, he wished,
After a while the clouds shattered.
When my foot kissed the ground,
It reminded me, you are unfound.
My body burns, my heart lies buried
The soul of my soul still feels weary.
Sobbing child, questing for breast,
Mournful dove cries, immense teary.
May I fly above you?
May I get intoxicated with your gaze?
May I see you from high?
May I rest on your branch for a while?
Depths of remorse stayed in darkness,
Skies, a canopy of shelter stayed far away.
Fragile eyes for meeting, stayed numb,
Stubborn somber heart waited till dawn.
Shall I say? solace torments me.
Shall I say? I'm perfuming like thee.
Shall I say? my joys diverted ways.
Shall I say? My soul parted ways.
Astray, I roamed the whole night evermore.
In some shrines, in some taverns,
I searched for you whole night evermore.
Do my soul departed in taverns?
Is my gaze destined to remain fragile?
Why the murky ashes adorn my home?
Will sunflowers turn their face today?
Or the cold winds blow even more?
I'll feel your presence when the breeze passes by,
I'll dance when dawn chorus falls on my ear,
I'll search for you till the light knocks on my door,
Till the darkness of night diminish I'll.
You are there I can see you but I can't,
I can touch you, but I can't,
I can kiss your forehead, but I can't,
I can hide you in my heart but I can't.
Plethora of pain made me stubborn
Your perceptions made me stubborn
When I ran over the dark nights, searching you
So that restlessness made me stubborn
I knew you will find me in loneliness
I knew new roses will also bloom
This night of wandering will also pass by
And also your heart will beat for me
You just stay in veil like fish in water
Like sea of stars in endless sky
Like pearls beneath the eyelids
And desires within the heart.
I'm hiding my pain because you love that
I'm killing my self because you love that
I know you love me more then me
Like fellow loves shourded men for a while
Will you think, soil will consume me
If you lately confess my love.
Pages will be scattering from books
If you lately confess my love.
I think you will love that sufferings
My last rites, my funeral.
I know you not so why to say that
You hate me as night hates sunlight
You hate me as sun hates clouds
Your love is my cloud, covering from sun
Oh my love I chased you as a cloud
Please don't shatter like that.
