To My Love Poem by chandra thiagarajan

To My Love

As a fragrant flower
Let me bloom a day,
And in your silken locks
Let me for a moment stay:

As the bright vermilion,
Let me be with thee,
On your moon-like forehead,
With pride for others to see:

As a string of pearls
Let me around you stay,
To caress your slender neck
And there to happily play:

As the tinkling bangles
Let me for once be
On your fair, lovely arms
And roll on with glee:

As the soft breeze
Let me for a time flow,
And on your lap play
Like a sweet child of glow:

The heart I possessed,
I know not how you snatched,
At your feet, now, my soul, I lay
With a love that is unmatched!
