O Dear, Come Near Poem by Prafulla Kumar Panda

The night here too waits
to see me in your embrace and sweat
since the moon has gone to rest
the moments now sizzle their best

dear! Come and don't delay
and let me assiduously play
the mischief of love
with your fingers' passionate move

let my lips ever drip
drops for you to sip
the honeyed nectar
as you quiver in thirst and pair

dear! Enter into my secret bower
to paint an amorous picture
never be hasty
rather be a bit slow and steady

let this night be like the previous night
when your lips stole my sight
as they rolled top to bottom on the canvas of my body
while your deft hands held me tight and ready

let my breath stop until the next night
dear! Ward me off from the days' sight
let the cool wind cool the olds' wrath
but let me forever lie beside your passion's fiery hearth.
