Let It Be So Poem by Varanasi Ramabrahmam

My Love!
If it is your wish
that our love
must blossom
and make us blissful
only at your terms
Let it be so

My sweet heart!
At a convenient moment
when our sensual
dreams are to be realized,
reversing
your SELF
repulsively
is your stand
Let it be so

My Whole!
When whole-heartedly
to our hearts’ full content
our wholes are to be
submerged in each other
then
contracting your whole
is your preference
is your brought up and culture
Let it be so

My Dear!
If I am present
only to be used and not otherwise
and not vice versa
Let it be so

My friend!
If the course and fruits of our nearness
are to happen
only according to your whims and fancies
Let it be so

My Sweetest!
If I am only
an “object” to
entertain and pass time for you
and not a
subject to be fulfilled
Let it be so

My Full!
If I am only a momentary
present continuous acquaintance
sans past or future
Let it be so

My Love!
If I am only a tool
to perform
tasks for you and not a
fellow life-form
Let it be so

My All!
If our beautiful relationship
is to continue
only as and according
to your dictates
Let it be so

My SELF!
Merger of our SELVES
must take place
only in thought and word
and not in action
Let it be so

My Everything!
If you want only writings
of my pen
and not to enjoy
in juicy depths
Let it be so

My Woman!
If you only
are personification of
principles and
embodiment of values
and uprightness
and I am a
poorer cousin
Let it be so

My Honey!
If you are desirous
of actions just
and shun and snub
the opposites
not to be pointed out
hurling pointed words
at me
Let it be so

My Within!
If you look down
chances
and do things only
by choice
confining to your
convenience
Let it be so

My Bliss!
If you wish to have cake
and eat it too
keeping me fasting
Let it be so

My Dearest!
If you want to
enhance your stature
by not caring
for my longings
likes and requirements
which are part of and
sustain our bond
and I have to dissolve
and ‘rise’ above them
for you
Let it be so

My Dear Reader!
If you alone
want to write
the script of
our intimacy
Let it be so

My Beloved!
If you want to say ”am tempted and am ready,
volcanoes must erupt
in our union”
are writings on water
and saying so to me
is your “mistake”
wrenching my heart
Let it be so

If you wish to define
what is nearness
according to your requirements only
even though appears odd and I am let down
Let it be so

When we have to
spend life hugging
you like to keep me begging
Let it be so

Even though
you are aware
that I am rare
as you are and
you deny me position
in intimacy to you
Let it be so

If you desire to entreat
and retreat
at your will
little caring
for my passion
Let it be so

Though
disappointing, disenchanting
and dispiriting
all this is hurting, painful and unbearable
and I am
in helpless disadvantage
in an unequal role
Let it be so

But I remain
Yours, affectionately;
Yours, lovingly;
Yours, friendly
as ever
forever
for our mutual
emotional fulfillment
bliss, serenity
and Love
