A World In The Wood Poem by Prafulla Kumar Panda

Come, let's walk hand in hand
and quit this envious world
which only spews words of abuse
and to our love it least values

to flamboyant lovers all is not lost
when hope's enkindled in each breast
as our honoured Cupid walks with us
can any worldly pain or hunger ruin us?

we can find our world in the wood
where Nature offers a protective hood
so let our love bloom amidst lush foliage
where human intentions least camouflage

with the flow of that perennial rill,
let passion rise and to our every cell fill
and flow down from our head to feet
as we lie clasped and listen our rising beat

and sip the nectar of love drop by drop
to quench our arid and thirsty throat
day in and day out in every weather
let's live together for a better tomorrow.
