An Imprisoned Soul

You are near yet so far. I want to sing to your heart But I cannot. My pride stands tall before me, My past pulls me behind, Mr fear frightens me, My belief shadows my path to you. How can love fly When its wings are tied With strings of greed fear and jealousy? How can love sing When its throat is gagged with Doubt and mistrust? But don't abandon me o love Don't abandon me in darkness. Please, keep smiling to me. May be one day The light in your smile Would light up dungeon in my heart. Tell me o love, What else can free me from eternal suffering than your love? © Arun Maji
