Come Over Poem by Jaswant Zafar

Come over in such a way
as the night meets the day

Sans you thus I live
without response, as is narrative

Within me, in manner such reside
as fragrance in flower lies inside

Touch me in a manner so
As the hues by glow

Let our union be such a pure bliss
As in horizon, earth and sky kiss

Don't pour over me as rain
Descend like dewdrops serene

Always be in my custody
as in instrument dwells melody

In slumber, a vivid dream
In wakefulness, a conscious stream

Thus settle in me, O mate
as in body, life does pulsate

You wrap me around thus
as the sky, the earth envelops

Sans you, I am lonesome
come as one close to bosom
