Love Forever

I have befriended the clouds They hovered over my head all day long Ready to fly away to your land Once in your name I would drop a song A handful of grain I placed in courtyard For the birds to come and stay To my lonely heart they soothed a lot When I wept alone in the heat of May I pleaded the rain to drop down slow To fill the air with a mellifluous note Let a runnel run from me to her Carrying my message in a tiny paper boat The winter will hear me for sure It can feel my love for her; pure and deep It won’t come hard on me on the way When from leaves the snow begins to drip The time would cease to move Essence of our love would remain forever young Those who say things are born to die Would feel guilty when they will be proved wrong Copyright @ Anil Kumar Panda 31/10/2015
