Heart Under Attack

When once the barren world inside me blossomed

In the presence of your tendering smile;

The long stored handful of love and care with effortless battle

Was my helpless heart seized unasked.

The day you held me first in your arms

Was my heart all brimmed with hope and joy;

But the day you just walked away

Was also the day where my hope and love only multiplied.

What was then and what the next is

Has never flowed in to the channel of my frozen memory;

For the dates of those unattended calendar

Have never been able to measure my hidden gloom.

Happy would I be if I be chanced

To behold your beauty once a day through the heart of my prison cell

But, enow has my heart fallen victim of every hour,

Unexpected

Beseech you, stay awhile;

Ye shimmering moon over floating cloud banks;

Befriend me upon thy passionate beams;

And make me a child once again just for tonight.

Bechance me hold thy hallowed visit;

Forgive though I behooves not good hostess;

With all my heart here lay I my faithful hand;

Un to the worthy words of my loyal speech.

If foretold and prophesied what would befall me;

Pallid lips of separation could have been withheld;

Sooner am I obliged but to hear foot falls of my beloved;

Fading in to unknown distance at the break of day.

Behold her how like a corpse shrouded in waxen raiment;

Lay on her bed and droplets escaping her eyes asleep;

Here by this window fall I to unfold my anguish in to night at times;

And often times to cherish the last glance of her beauteous face.

What would yield to my anguished grief but torturous surge;

For fantasy far removed from prison cell of your absence;

What would alas, but comfort my unspent passion;

For missing will be the soft and tender love of my beloved forever.
